Live at the Bohemian Art Loft in Redding, CA


Les Flots De Danube

Led by one of the most respected mandolinists in today’s acoustic scene, Matt Flinner and his trio partners, Ross Martin (guitar) and Eric Thorin (bass), are sonically founded
in bluegrass, jazz, classical and American acoustic music.

Over the past decade, the Matt Flinner Trio has been on the cutting edge of the 21st century string band movement. All master composers and improvisers, the trio has become legendary for their ability to almost simultaneous compose and perform new music. Their past two albums have developed this “music du jour” concept—drawing on whatever inspires them that day to compose a new tune and then performing it that evening. Their collective ability to conjure great melodies out of the ether and deliver them in front of a live audience has earned the group a reputation as one of
the most imaginative and fearless in the contemporary instrumental space. But on TRAVELING ROOTS the trio has set their musical sights on seeking out and delivering beautiful music. Band leader and mandolinist Matt Flinner explains: “I feel that our goal as musicians should be to try to add some bit of beauty to the world. I see this as our small, esoteric string band bluegrass-jazz-new acoustic living on the 17thmoon-
of-Saturn contribution to that. We hope that all of the sweat, frustration, love and aspiration that we put into this music makes your world a little more beautiful.”

There is a long and diverse tradition of songs in African American culture about the depredations committed by preachers as they steal money from church funds, dally with women, and eat all the best parts of a chicken dinner. We drew together two very different takes on this tradition by combining this version by the New Lost City Ramblers:

LYRIC:

WILL TYLOR

Verses:
Ole Will he grew up, in the hills of kentucky
And he learned to love other people's money 
He can Talk smoother Than a slick politician
empty out your pockets with a business proposition

CHORUS:
DON'T YOU EVER TRUST WILL TYLOR
CAUSE HE WAS BORN TO STEAL FROM YOU
ALL DRESSED UP LIKE A PREACHER ON SUNDAY
IN MONEY OR LOVE HE'LL MAKE YOU HIS FOOL
WILL TYLOR DON'T CARE CAUSE HE LOVE WHAT HE DO

Verse:
Will's got a mansion, and a sweet wife in the kitchen
Lord he loves the ladies, and old Will he's always fishin'
and when ole Will dies, He's got one more to con
cause some say old Will's, gonna take the Devils' job

LYRIC:

LOVE'S LEMONADE

IF I KNOW YA WANNA SEE MY SMILIN FACE
I'D WEAR A BIG ONE FOR YOU EVERY NIGHT AND DAY
IF I KNOW YA WANT MY HAND TO HOLD
WELL I'D HOLD YOURS TIGHT AND NEVER LET GO

IF I KNOW YOU WANT ME IN YOUR ARMS
THAT WOULD PUT ROOTS ON MY RAMBALIN' HEART
IF I KNOW YA WANT A KISS FROM ME
I'D LOCK LIPS WITH YOU AND THROW AWAY THE KEY

	IF I KNOW YA WANT ME
	I'D CHANGE MY WAYS
	IF I KNOW YA WANT ME
	I'D TAKE A BIG OLE SIP OF LOVE'S LEMONADE

IF I KNOW YOU WANT ME RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE
THIS OLD ROLLIN' STONE WOULD BE YOUR ROCK FOR LIFE
IF I KNOW YA WANT TO LOVE ME FOREVER
WE'D BE A FAIRY TALE STORY, HAPPY EVER AFTER

Loves Lemonade - Bluegrass Demo

Writers: Brad Davis, John Mathis
Publishers: Brad Davis Music/BMI, Keely Shaye Music/BMI, Avid Group Publishing/BMI

LYRIC:

“Trouble Til The Day I Die”

V:
When I was born my mama was crying
The roof was leaking from a thunderstorm
The midwife said as mama was dying
That trouble was coming and to be forewarned

V:
Daddy died diggin in the bottom of a coal mine
The banker came and he took our shack
Twelve years old and walkin the main line
Trouble followed me down the railroad tracks

C:
Trouble comes and goes for ordinary souls
For some men is just a way of life
Trouble takes a man, and haunts him til the end
Trouble, trouble til the day I die

V:
I think about all the heart ache I’m holdin
While i’m living there’s no escape
Well there’s only one thing that keeps me goin’
Trouble can’t get me when I’m layin in the grave
