Black River Killer

Blitzen Trapper - Black River Killer

This song, Half-Crazy, could be described as the tenacious offspring of the North African desert music of Mali/Morocco and the sweat and electricity of the Chicago and Mississippi Delta blues. That music is like a stem-cell, really open to going in many directions. On this track, we wired the harp through a dirty little amplifier. I played my early 40's Oahu lap-steel. Andrew uses a loping high-hat feel, and the electric bass pushes the whole thing. The lyrics got a nudge from our friend Nathan Moore--we're all half-crazy, half clear as a bell.

You’re going down like heavy stone
through the muddy waters that you know
Dropped in another day, never saying what you ought to say
oh and now the lies are coming 

but hey, anyway, let them know
tell them how you don’t want to love them

You’re dragging on like summertime
rolling through the rubble on your mind
back in your knowing place, with a weapon you don’t want to waste
and hey, now you’re on the ground and running

I say, anyway, let them know
tell them how you don’t want to love them

oh no you’re not whole when you’re so unaligned
can’t you see we all know you got free
now just tell it honestly

Anyway, let them know
tell them how you don’t want to love them
