"Slow & Easy" by Scott H Biram

BlackWater


I'm wading through BlackWater fighting for my life
There seems to be no way out of here no way forward no way back
Getting out alive the odds are stacked
Settle down now dont be afraid its just the rumble of the thunder
Ive dogged the bullets and kept my head down low
I dont want to die in this BlackWater.....

The trenches here are full of rain full of BlackWater
Gunfire cracks and nerves they snap pages from the good bool sail on by me
Twisted metal, blood and flesh there just lying in the grass
Finers tight hold a wooden cross theres prayers for the suffering the dying and the lost
Young men faced down in the BlackWater....

Theres a river here and if you stand by it long enough you'll see your enemies come a floating by
Theres little good air to breathe here your lungs they fight to try
Im remembering you so clearly now today I never caught your last words
I walked too soon away...

In the late afternoon the vultures fly they black out the sky
I cant find a good place in my memory to settle me by
I count the hours, seconds, minutes and the day's
And when I close my eyes to sleep I see young men faced down in the BlackWater...

BlackWater…

Robert Connely Farr grew up in the small southern town of Bolton, Mississippi, home of Charley Patton, Sam Chatmon, Bo Carter & Walter Vinson. He has been mentored in the Bentonia Style of the Delta Blues by Jimmy “Duck” Holmes since 2017. His 2019 release Dirty South Blues was met with widespread critical acclaim, including being named by KEXP’s Greg Vandy Top Albums of 2019 & earning Farr nominations at Canada's prestigious Maple Blues Awards for Songwriter of the Year & New Artist of the Year. He currently resides in Vancouver, BC but when he's home in Mississippi, he can be found at Jimmy "Duck" Holmes' historic juke joint - the Blue Front Cafe. 

delta blues / country blues / hill country / southern

“this isn’t Nashville bro country... this is soulful, lonesome what if Ol’ Hank we’re still alive Country Blues. Farr shares some of the best of the original Mississippi blues in a style that remains relevant today... he takes the lessons he’s learned & applies them to his original music without forgetting to honor the masters who came before him.”
American Blues Scene

"Farr... has a skill for blending the traditional w/ the modern world. He can conjure up both the brains & the brawn of Drive-By Truckers & the... spirit of masters such as Howlin’ Wolf or RL Burnside."
