lyrics

There are reservoirs of backwoods bars
In the shadow of a mountain with no snow,
Where everyone who knows will go
To shake out their unease.

Heed the rhyme, dear friend of mine,
The tap is dry and all the waiters have gone home:
A laurel for the effort shown.
I think it’s time to leave.

‘Ifs’ and ‘buts’ to kill and gut
The emboweled avowal of the final cut.
So rue the day the rooster plays
A siren’s gag and the rudder reaps the tune.

Yes, I think it’s time to leave.

Back to the Wheel
by Sara Hensel

Easily one of my favorite songwriters. Sara Hensel combines the vocal and lyrical acrobatics of Joni Mitchell with the production sensibilities of Blake Mills and robust grooves of Lucy Dacus. Dan Klee

Dishonorable Harvest
by Olivia Awbrey

I played drums on this record! Olivia is a killer songwriter and this album will rock your socks off AND make you think. Dan Klee

Radio Farm - EP
by Zygotes of the Forlorn West

I played drums on this one too! Zygotes is such a fun pop-rock experience. There are a lot of twists and turns for such a concise release -- give it a listen. ;) Dan Klee
