I don’t know what happened – but this song has hit me hard. Maybe it captures something of the atmosphere of this time, the loneliness and disconnect I’m feeling. But the minor chords, the organ sounds, and the wailing vocals has me nearly crying when I’ve talked about it on the podcast. I am worried […]
Before my ambition gets destroyed. I don’t want to be home no more. I’ve been barely holding on. The simplest lines are the hardest to write. You have to walk a long road to be able to sing such simple truthful words. Tucker Riggleman is the Breece D’J Pancake of Rock-n-Roll. He’s my friend, this […]
