INTRO: :02
The human race's winners
are stable and stiff.
I'd rather take a crooked river
and stay adrift.   :15
V1 :17
Taught a life of much redundance, 
fought it from the very start.
In a world of such abundance, 
I couldn't control my hurtin' heart.   :31
Ch1 :32
Can't embrace the same-ole same-ole,
something has always gotta' change.
Cages chase me grave to cradle,
stunting my heart and numbin' my brain.   :46
V2 :47
Simple jobs are drivin' me crazy,
nuthin' new, a different day.
Gettin' robbed of somethin' to take me
outta' the noose and far away.   1:01
Ch2 1:02
Gotta' break the same-ole same-ole,
chasin' a dream beyond the din.
Gotta' shake and turn the table,
freein' a slave from deep within.   1:16
V3 1:17
Rosy path is not so perfect,
hidden thorns I cannot see.
Good and bad combined on purpose,
keepin' me dancin' on my feet.   1:31
BREAK: (:31)
Br 2:02
The universe is crazy commotion,
starry skies rearrange.
I wanna savor every moment,
be a part of a different day.   2:16
OUTRO: 2:17
I'm a slave to some repetition,
tired of facin' the same ole scene.
Gotta' shake this dreaded prison,
find an escape from life's routine.   2:31

Six Sides to a Story

Same-Ole Same- Ole

Songs from the edge of somewhere. Bluesy, soulful rock with roots in folk and blues, shaped by years of traveling and chasing sound.

My debut album Strange Part of the Country earned ★★★★ from Q Magazine, a Blues Matters cover feature, and reached #3 on the U.S. Alternative Radio Chart, with airplay on BBC Radio 2, WWOZ New Orleans, and KROQ Los Angeles. Peter Green (Fleetwood Mac), Marc Ribot, and Danny Thompson have all been part of the journey.

I’m now finishing a new album with Marc Ribot, Tchad Blake, and Danny Thompson — music that digs deep, raw and real.
