12. Chris Smithers - Blues In The Bottle

(Verse 1)
Out on the Nebraska plains, where the wind whispers low
Stands a lonely silhouette, a story it don't know
Two hundred years it's creaked and groaned, pumpin' water to the sky
For generations, fed the land, watched the seasons pass it by

(Chorus)
The old windmill on the farm, a silent sentinel now
Twisted steel and shattered sails, a tear upon my brow
The twister came one April night, a fury in the breeze
Took a piece of family with it, rustlin' through the trees

(Verse 2)
Great-great-grandpa built it strong, with wood and sweat and tears
Heard the stories from my grandma, whispered down the years
How it kept the crops alive, through drought and summer's heat
A constant rhythm, steady friend, a lifeblood, can't be beat

(Bridge)
Inspectors said it couldn't stay, a danger in the field
But a part of me feels hollow, a wound that won't be healed
More than just a pumpin' tower, it held our history tight
A symbol of resilience, standin' tall against the night

(Chorus)
The old windmill on the farm, a silent sentinel now
Twisted steel and shattered sails, a tear upon my brow
The twister came one April night, a fury in the breeze
Took a piece of family with it, rustlin' through the trees

Farr works closely with Jimmy "Duck" Holmes & when he’s home in Mississippi, can most likely be found pickin' & grinnin' in Bentonia, Mississippi at Duck's renound Juke Joint - the Blue Front Cafe.

“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."
