This is my Uncle Tad Foote in 1958 at the age of 21 recording while at Yale. He also taught me my first three chords on guitar when I was 18: E, A, and B7.
"Thats all you'll for the blues" he said.

Justified Fitting End is the 5th track on Tallsome Tales by The Carnivaleros.

Was you sent or did you just went 
Asked the preacher 'cross the table from me
I told him it was neither I was backed up to a wall 
Certain things are meant to be 
I had to kill my father he was beatin' on my mother 
Some old fences just will not mend
It was an unexpected, loosely-jointed, understated, overrated, 
Jaded but sophisticated, justified fitting end

My Ma was a-raisin' my sisters and me 
In a shack on the edge of town
She always did her best to keep food on the table
Even though Pa was not around
But he'd show up now and then in the heat of the moment 
Reeking of a backwoods still
He'd been in a rage every day gone by 
Since they laid him off down at the mill
He knocked us all around but my Ma got it the worst 
Only so far a body can bend
Until his unexpected, loosely-jointed, understated, overrated, 
Jaded but sophisticated, justified fitting end

There was a time things weren't so bad
When we were knee high to a man
But that must've been just a child's perception 
Don't remember when they got out of hand

Now I'm doin' time on the local state dime
I did what I had to do
My Ma would've died and the bruises on my sisters 
Were a spectacle of black and blue
I’m a peaceful man most every day 
But when the trouble just would not end
I had to do something 'cause my ma and my sisters 
Had not the strength to fend
If I had to do it over it would come out just the same 
Some old fences just will not mend
It was an unexpected, loosely-jointed, understated, overrated, 
Jaded but sophisticated, justified fitting end

Justified Fitting End

Episode 5 Justified Fitting End

Oakhurst's latest offering Barrel (their 5th), was produced and engineered by Joe Pisapia (K. D. Lang, Ben Folds & Guster) and was recorded at his own Middle Tree Studios in Nashville, TN. With Pisapia and Oakhurst front man Adam Hill's collaborative songwriting and Pisapia's guitar performances, Barrel takes a noticeable turn from the bluegrass tendencies that characterized the band’s previous efforts to a more genre-bending Americana and Bluesey reverberation. The arrangements and the harmonies are tight, pushing the songs towards a much broader audience with mainstream appeal.
