lyrics

“Kate Blood”

One dawn in December
She asked for my dreams
I gave them up gladly
By glow of kerosene
Mine were taken from me
When I was 23
Never shoulda took that trip
To Kansas City

Now they drag my name
All over town
They whisper it slowly
And try and dress me down

But no it was not me
I did not hold the gun
It is true as the day is long
And the setting sun

Now I’m fallin, fallin
For love I can’t keep
I’m fallin, fallin
Falling too deep

She asked for my name
I know you know mine
They call me Kate blood
The girl by the riverside

I was the first daughter
A mother and a friend
Buried along the banks
Of that city Appleton

Now I’m fallin, fallin
For love I can’t keep
I’m fallin, fallin
Falling too deep

One dawn in December
She asked for my dreams
I gave them up gladly
By glow of kerosene
Now very full moon
Down by the riverside
I feel a shiver
A shiver down my spine

Now I’m fallin, fallin
For love I can’t keep
I’m fallin, fallin
Six feet deep

released February 13, 2024
The studio band included drummer Jon Radford (Justin Townes Earle), John Jackson on mandolin and violin, Patrick Sansone on keys, Quinn Scharber on Nashville tuned guitar, and Jim Hoke (Dolly Parton, Paul McCartney) on tin whistle and accordion. Produced by John Jackson (The Jayhawks, Ray Davies) and Patrick Sansone (Wilco), the recording sessions for Siren Songs took place at Johnny Cash’s historic Cash Cabin in Hendersonville, TN where Schoepp and his collaborators recorded with instruments found on the storied grounds – ranging from Cash’s 1930s Martin guitar and June Carter Cash’s Steinway piano to an old railroad spike.

Excellent. You sound so different. A bit Elvis Costello and Elliot Smith in there. An urban album. Great clean sound. Love Holidays. More, please? Roy Greer
