E Intanto Fuori Piove (And while it's raining outside)

After a very successful year, and with Jimmy in Memphis during his favorite time of year, Jimmy decided to write a Christmas song to celebrate being in Memphis at this most wonderful time of the year.  Again, Jimmy and some friends got together and had a blast in the studio knowing that Christmas was just around the corner and Santa is on his way "my daddy said so" !!  As with the first album "Road Ready", Jimmy, writer and vox along with playing bass and piano on this one, was in the studio with brother Jody Stephens on drums and harmony, Adam Hill on lead/rhythm guitars, sleigh bells, harmony, and engineer, Rick Steff on accordion, melodica, and glockenspiel, Preston McEwen on wind chimes, and Santa's helpers: Bree, Emma, Reagan, and Ashlyn doing various vocal gymnastics !!!  :) For Jimmy, it was lead vocals, piano, and bass.

While the single will be available through Soundcloud, iTunes, Amazon, and other outlets as an individual song, a Jewel case EP will also be released containing 3 stocking stuffers from the first album. This will be available at shows or through a PM at facebook.com/jimmy.stephens.jr.musician.
This was a very fun song to play given it is Christmas and we want to wish all of our fans and friends a very happy holiday season and a wonderful Christmas time.  Your support is greatly appreciated !!  Thanks again.  Peace on earth to all.  <3  Jimmy and The Bcrd.

Andreas Stock - Balearic

A straight-forward guitar boogie in 12:8 that I commonly play with the help of other musicians, though I have sometimes done it solo.   The lyrics are a rather dark take on unconsidered religious belief, and it is up to the instruments to keep it moving.
	Dedicated to Gene Vincent, who won me with the line “now-how-how-how-how”, and to Martin Luther King who showed me what religion could be.


 
Lyrics:
	once a wild man was trying to find a place to stay
	he took along a book to look up the way
	the fellow thought without it he’d get lost, he’d obey it at any cost
	and he expects to find that place one of these days
	and though his sight is not too strong
	on a clear day he can see the dawn


	along that long and lonesome road there’s nowhere you can stop
	it goes straight uphill but you can’t reach the top
	there are no signs on either side, cause no one needs a guide
	you just have to walk that road until you drop
	and when that wild man is done,
	the book is chained to the back of his wild son

Refugees 

Smoke and ash and hurt
becomes our daily bread
Blood and bone and dirt
the constant fear and dread
Onward  and away 
from the slaughter.

What  becomes of us 
who can't begin to hope
We are the stuff that's crushed
beneath the slippery slope
Nothing more than 
cannon fodder

In the inbetween
weary finds no peace
Fenced by razor screens
barred and incomplete
Strike the names
panic foster
There is no end

There is no respit here
only shallow graves
Trails of endless tears
darkness so well lade
Hearts will burst
Hushed one's curse
Dying of thirst
under water
There is no end

Adios Atonalita

Intermezzo: The Mad Knight of Taubenburg
Do I stray from my purpose here? No, for Madness casts its nets far, and the conscientious Chronicler must be prepared to follow them. We should imagine our Knight sitting down and writing a letter with all his thoughts, sorrows, and longings; then sealing it in a bottle and throwing it into the Danube. After many years – perhaps centuries –  it washes up on a beach in Japan, where it is found by the daughter of an eminent samurai. Beautiful, fearless, mistress of the martial arts, her hand sought by all the rich and powerful, she is intelligent and inquisitive far beyond what her culture will accept for her sex – and indeed, hardly tolerates in her father’s. Wrapped in an isolation of a totally different sort, she will not rest until she has deciphered the message. But what will she make of it? For between her and the Knight is not only the barely traversible barrier of Distance but the impassible one of Years
