How do you meld-sneak in those Johnny Cash and Tom Waits textures in your vocals like that?

I must say brilliantly written man... steps like a mountain climb... blood like a river from that same mountain...at least that's how I see it. Wonderful performance too!

I always love your use of harmonies and this one needed another listen...so here I am! Beautiful song Steve. Durge

a beautiful journey in a storytelling song. Really like this song.

Ticks all the boxes for me Steve, pulled in from the first bar.

You Don’t Talk Easy

Yeah, I’m all over you
Coming by your room
Faking accidental  - as if you didn't know
These small steps up a mountain climb 
And nothing’s going to turn back time, hey you

I’m crawling cross this chasm that I find
I’m trying to talk my way into your eyes
In real life you’re quick to speak your mind
But you don’t talk easy here tonight
You don’t talk easy here tonight

So fate has brought you here
You could have moved anywhere
But now we got these workdays to share
With my turn of phrase suggestible
Your face it stays imperceptible, hey you

Chorus

A woman like you is surely spoken for
And who am I to dare to come between
Warm blood is going to make me stay the course
Like the river flows from mountain to the sea

YOU DON'T TALK EASY

FUTURE


Dedicating my piano part in this song to my Dad who lives in Tennessee in The Smoky Mountains. Hell, I guess I'll dedicate my part to his best friend Ronnie too. 
I only play a small part in this song which is the piano, but I will tell you that the folks I'm playing with are really great people and a lot of fun jamming with.

This song began when Josh asked the rest of the guys if they'd be willing to put together a couple of songs for his father as a Christmas present. His dad is from West Virginia, and Josh was born there, too. The original version featured Josh's son, Marshall, singing the lead with him, and hearing his grandson sing a song about West Virginia really meant a lot to elder Clary. Of course, everyone was enthusiastically generous in giving their time, effort, and skill to Josh's family for the holiday. This song also has special meaning for JJ and Ken in relation to their fathers, as well. JJ's dad has had a rough year with his health. He also is a musician who inspired and encouraged JJ to play music. His dad also likes this song, so it was fun for him to present it to him, as well. Ken, who's father never really supported his decision to be a rock-and-roller, loves this version of the song we did, and made Ken know how proud of him he is in regard to it, which really meant a lot to Ken, too. Another cool connection Ken has to this song is that whilest attending elementary school, he was in the same school choral cohort with the Maria Carey. He actually sang this song with her when they were kids. Also, we feel like we should acknowledge Artur's dog, even though Artur isn't in on this one, his dog loves country music and responded enthusiastically to this one.
  The story of the song itself is a little convoluted. After Josh asked for everyone's help, Ken laid down a rudimentary beat, to which Josh started the tonal part with the bass. Stephen added the guitar and banjo soon after, and Josh added the mandolin shortly after that. JJ inserted his piano around this time, too. We pretty much had it working enough for Josh and his son to sing it for his dad. Tez mixed that version perfectly suited to the occasion. 
  After presenting Josh's dad with the present, it sat for about a month, until we asked Mark if he'd get in on it, too. Mark not only sang it better the JD, but also arranged it so there is an instrumental break now. He also added the guitar lick at the very beginning. Ken took the opportunity of having Mark's great vocals to sing against to add his cunning harmonies. Then Mark, being the perfectionist that he is, noticed that the slide part was missing from the second verse. So, Josh added it. Mark also mixed this version, with Stephen doing some mastering at the end. 
  We hope you enjoy listening to this as much as we enjoyed putting this personally meaningful piece together.
