Another great track, in your inimitable style, Lliam.

Nice Rockabilly feel. I enjoyed listening to this.

Fantastic!! awesome atmosphere and lyrics to suit.

boogie for nature :-), great music, great samples. but what is a "Dümbek"? kind of a drum?

Real Lou Reedy vocal - like the spontaneous way its together - excellent

Taylor guitar recorded in a round castle tower. Samples from the mountain, including the Barred Owl. Hope and Janice added backgrounds to the bass and perc. Can't wait to go back and sit in that knarly pine.
Also on track:  Vanessa Walters: Dümbek,  Dave Edwards: bass
Hope Johnson:vocals,  Janice Marie Johnson:vocals
Birds of the woods

I cannot speak my mind is tied
With thoughts and dreams and hopes untried.
From a gnarly pine on a mountain high
Nothin out there but countryside

My dream would be to go where I will, 
To walk where I want, to try any hill.
But fences keep me sitting still
It's mine, stay away, the voice is shrill

What I say would be half a truth,
Too many parts, too aloof.
There's me and them and us and you,
But the shields are up, there's no getting through.

Nobody knows the culture we missed
We traded for things with lies and tricks.
When we could have been learning this lands' ways
We thought we knew it all so we walk in a haze.

Lliam - Countryside

Lliam Greguez is a macro ice photographer who captures freezing moments of a mountain stream and a creative arts therapist who, before C-19, used music to engage chronically ill children in five hospitals around New York City.

He also unlooses his experimental tendencies with five albums - a pair of Acoustic, a pair of Electric, and one Ambient. 

The acoustics are: Other People’s Children in English and La Yola in Spanish, the latter written by Dominican artist Luis Días. Each showcase uptempo acoustic music that could be labeled anti-pop with a unique essence accompanied by deliberative lyrics.

Then the two rock albums also contain one by Luis Días and one by the trio "Any of Several Weasels" reveling in the electric guitar sound. Luis' album is driven by Caribbean rhythms, while AoSW fuses punk and progressive.

Meanwhile, the "Look of Utter Disbelief" explores synth, sampling, and guitar improvisations.

Be sure to check out Lliam's website for a taste of his ice photography and stories from working with hospitalized children.
