Every night
When the sun goes down
Zip a jean
And catch a bus to town
Find a bar
Find a band with a sandshoe sound
(when you dance)
Alcohol, sometimes, emotions get high
When you dance
Slippin’ off your shoes
When you sing
Slippin’ off your blues
As you live
It’s been the life you choose
Nothing more
Nothing else would be the same
Strike a light
Suck on a fag and lean
On the silver cigarette machine
Zip an eye
And re-assess the scene
Killer one
Killer two moving into frame
Every night
After the sun goes down
Zip a jean
Catch a bus to town
Find a bar
That’s got that sandshoe sound
Yeah
Emotions get high.
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
I’m a long time fan of Tex, the Beasts and Aussie-alt rock .. and recently been over indulging in the back catalogues of SPJ and Ian Rilen. Why mention that? This record is inspiring and an aural pleasure that grows each listen. Despite the talent, crafted musicianship and acknowledged influences on this record, they still deliver the same raw emotion, telling observations and Lo-Fi attitude we love Tex and his compatriots for.. fave tracks are Pay the Devils Due and Danger Has Been Kind trumblesinegypt
