Artwork and Dedication:
Photos (clockwise): My mother with Santa Claus. My father with his dog Skitter. My grandfather, "Jiggs", with his cigarette and swagger. My grandmother, Kathy, with a pony that went door-to-door taking photos with children. My grandfather, Henry, with his white 1958 Fender Tele, rehearsing with his country band. My grandmother, Virginia, in her black fur coat, who was the singer in the band. (They did a beautiful cover of "Your Cheatin' Heart"). My great-grandmother, Opal. And my grandfather, Henry, in his dapper three-piece suit.
This recording is dedicated to the memory of Henry and Virginia, who always wanted to record a country album; to the memory of my mother and father; and to my grandparents Kathy and Jiggs, who have always been home for me.Buy Now name your price

- Track Name: Dark Horse
-
He rides a dark horse
Crosses burned in its sides
He rides hooded in the dead of night
And I call to him, I call to the night
And the wind in the trees
Calls to me "Salvation......Salvation......"
And I feel him breathe into me resurrection
He rides a dark horse
He doesn't live and he does not die
He rides shameless through this mountain side
And I call to him, I call to the night......... - Track Name: La Vengenista
-
With my tin skeleton
And a brand new ghost
I set sail for you on the Mexican coast
I had demons all wrapped up in my hair
I had angels armed to the teeth around me everywhere
I was wind, I was dust, I was fire
No, they could not hold me back
But lord, they tried
The birds rose and sang your name to the night
I went to the mountain I raised up my hands and I cried
"Anhelo, Anhelo, my lover my soul
I will find out where they buried you
And I will take you home"
When I left the town lit the sky
You have never seen flames rise so high
No, you have never seen flames rise so high.....
