Something to believe We all need something to believe Maybe its god for you Or maybe you think that every things a lie Lord I hope that it isn't true Some folk live for personal wealth Halaluia for every coin Some folks just believe in them selves And carry it in their groin Cause we need Something to believe Sunday comes and the faithful rise Rootin For a football team Keepin the faith as they fall behind chasing the american dream Cause we need Something to believe Some folk turn to booze and dope To get em through the day Some go to church cause they still got hope And get on their knees and pray Cause we need Something to believe We all need something to believe Maybe its god for you

A World Not Seen Ive been blinded by the mid morning sun As it rises up above pines And it burns away the fog from an early morning rain And it burns away the thoughts that cloud my mind (chorus) I can see clearly now Everythings right in front of of me Like a red tail hawk as it glides above the trees I can see clearly now As the light comes over me Illuminates a world I have never seen You know that sun gets hot, As it burns up in the sky We all could use a gentile summer breeze So I pull my cap down low just above my eyes Seek the shelter of a tall shady tree (bridge) There are times when its hard for us to see Beyond these troubling times But I believe in a place Where we can be Free from the struggles that we find Soon the sun will fall from the evening sky And the moon and the stars will all shine We can close our eyes to rest until the dawn And in the morning we can all rise again

about

I came to folk music by way of the singer-songwriter genre of my childhood. I later discovered Woody, Dylan, and some recordings that Jerry Garcia had done later in life with David Grisman. There was a simple complexity to these performances that appealed to me in a way that nothing else ever had. Digging deeper I began to gravitate toward musicians like John Hartford, Norman Blake, and Doc Watson. Traditional folk music and instrumentation became far more relevant in my heart than any of the contemporary styles I was hearing in popular venues.
With this record, I have written a collection of new songs for the 19th century. I am joined by an amazing group of musicians that have influenced me through the years. With them comes a sincere desire to pass these traditions onto generations to come.
More than a reflection of the past, This music is a continued American experience.
