lloydd Thanks to Mr. Bucky Brown for the heads up .Some fantastic alt - country songs served up by The Whiskey Charmers from the hot bed of country music Detriot (Rock City) Michigan .Excellent vocals, solid rhythm section and some fine, fine guitar pickin . They remind me of the Cowboy Junkies .That is high praise. Favorite track: Warnings.

Bucky Glistening with a distilled twang and desperado flair, Carrie Shepard (Lead Vocals) brings a commanding tone while she weeps through these hard-edged country swooners.Stone-cold classic in terms of prowess in the modern alternative/outlaw country realm.

Colin M. Another fantastic journey of americana that builds, and in my opinion improves, upon their previous (and great in it's own right) work. Favorite track: Coal.

Desert 02:36
He said meet me in the desert He said I'll be there by the wind He said we don't need any rain Said don't need a fifth of gin. But I lost my heart in the desert I lost my soul in the wind I lost my mind in the sands I lost it over, and over and over again. He said meet me by the oasis. He said meet me by the pool. Doesn't have to be hot in the desert Come on over here it's cool. But I lost my heart in the desert I lost my soul in the wind I lost my mind in the sands I lost it over, and over and over again. Again.....again....again

The Valley 04:04
I was walking through the valley Through the valley of light When I looked around me And saw something was just not right Coming up through the darkness Coming up through the gloom And it tried to make it's way into my room. But I said no, no, no Go back to where you came You don't get to see my face You don't get to call my name Go back down under Into your green and murky swamp Cuz you ain't got nothing that I want No you ain't, no you ain't Gonna take our love and give us hate We won't wait, won't wait Won't be quiet or hesitate Til it's too late Now we're walking through the valley Through the valley of light And we'll keep on walking Til we make it right We'll say no to the darkness We'll say no to the gloom And we won't let the dark into our room We'll say no, no, no Go back to where you came You don't get to see our face You don't get to call our name Go back down under Into your green and murky swamp Cuz you ain't got nothing that I want

Melody 03:02
If I laid down a melody Would you follow me tonight? If I laid down a harmony Would it make everything alright? Just for fun, add bass and drums. Will you be here when the morning comes? Count me in, to sing again Hope you don't mind the state I'm in. If I laid down a brand new song Would you sing along tonight? If I laid down in an open field Would you meet me in the moonlight? Just for fun, add bass and drums. Will you be here when the morning comes? Count me in, to sing again Hope you don't mind the state I'm in. Hope you don't mind, hope you don't mind Hope you don't mind the state I'm in.

Darlin I'm leaving on the outbound train If you meet me there, I will refrain. I won't look into your eyes. You think they're full of alibis. Alibis, alibis, and goodbyes, and a disguise. But don't you know, I loved you so? Don't you see me? Don't you care, that I was falling down the stairs? Now you're painting your little pictures of me. Am I only who you think you see? If you step into my little mind, You might be surprised at what you find. No alibis, no alibis, no goodbyes and no disguise. But don't you know, I loved you so? Won't you stay? Please don't go. Darlin I'm leaving on the outbound train If you meet me there, I will refrain. I won't look into your eyes. You think they're full of alibis. No I won't look into your eyes. You think they're full of alibis.

Well I got these dirty little blues And I keep getting dirtier for you Not one thing I can refuse When I get these dirty little blues So let me ride on your pillow We've got nothing to lose I might weep like a willow If you don't let me blow out your fuse Cuz I got these dirty little blues And I keep getting dirtier for you Not one thing I can refuse When I get these dirty little blues So let me put you on a plate I know it's getting late But you won't have to do much to participate I see you're getting tired But you've gotta pay your dues Cuz I've got these dirty little blues So let's go down to the country I hear they've got great views Let me put it to you bluntly That I got these dirty little blues There's not one thing I can refuse When I get these dirty little blues And won't you put yourself in my shoes? Cuz I've got, these dirty little blues.

Fireproof 02:40
Baby I'm hanging on the line Baby I, I'm looking for the truth And I don't want to lose my mind But baby I, I'm not fireproof And where there's smoke there's fire I'm hanging on the line I'm running out of time Baby I'm hanging on the line Baby I, I'm looking for some proof And I don't want to lose my mind So maybe I'll just climb out on the roof And where there's smoke there's fire I'm hanging on the line I'm running out of time

Full Moon 03:51
I've got a full moon in my mind It's breaking the clouds that fill the sky I'm breaking away from ties that bind Filling my eyes with bright moonshine And the moon is full, the moon is bright Somebody's howling tonight I close my eyes and feel the light It lifts me up and it sets me right It sets me right The tips of my claws, they're filled with rage They're bending the steel bars on my cage The night it shakes like an attack I'm running ahead not turning back And the moon is full, the moon is bright Somebody's howling tonight I close my eyes and feel the light It lifts me up and it sets me right It sets me right You can shoot that silver bullet through my mind You can shoot that silver bullet through my eyes In the morning in the sunlight you will find In the morning sun I will rise I've got a full moon in my mind It's breaking the clouds that fill the sky I'm breaking away from ties that bind Filling my eyes with bright moonshine And the moon is full, the moon is bright Somebody's howling tonight I close my eyes and feel the light It lifts me up and it sets me right It sets me right

Songbird 03:19
It's Sunday night I should be turning out the light But these past days keep spinning through my mind Been a long crooked path That brought me here to crash Over the miles and miles of road right into you You call me an angel You say I'm a songbird And I don't know if that's exactly true The sad things in life Don't want them to eat me up inside So I sing at night to keep away the blues You fly west across the sky I get back on with my life I'm still nobody's girl And I'm nobody's wife I keep turning through this maze To keep my babies warm and safe And I've got these last few days to set down on a page You call me an angel You say I'm a songbird And I don't know if that's exactly true The sad things in life Don't want them to eat me up inside So I sing at night to keep away the blues
9.
Red Wine 02:46
Been looking for you lately on my lawn Been looking for you baby but you're gone Been looking all the time Across the borderline And at the bottom of my glass of red wine Been looking in the back of my car But I'm not so sure that's where you are I'm running out of places So maybe I'll find You in the bottom of my glass of red wine You may be in the mountains Of New Mexico I heard that's where you wanna go Or maybe in the backroads of my mind Or in the bottom of my glass of red wine Been looking for you lately on my lawn Been looking for you baby but you're gone Been looking all the time Across the borderline And at the bottom of my glass of red wine Yeah I'm looking all the time Across the borderline And at the bottom of my glass of red wine

Coal 04:35
Just another highway Just another town Just another road that I shouldn't be going down Just another city Just another night Just another arrow Lost in the light And I'm digging in to the ground And I'm walking on a wire And I put another coal On the fire I'm just putting coals on the fire Putting coals on the fire Putting coals on the fire On the fire Just another moonrise Just another cloud Just another word that I shouldn't say out loud And I'm digging in to the ground I'm walking on a wire And I put another coal On the fire I'm just putting coals on the fire Putting coals on the fire Putting coals on the fire On the fire

Warnings 04:03
There's a warning, up in the sky. Every morning and every night. And I'm haunted, just like a ghost. And I'm wanting you to love me the most. And I'm wasted and jealous and high. Can you taste it? This sweet apple pie? I've been saving it all up for you. There's a warning out on the street. There's a warning wherever we meet. There's a warning out on the road. There's a warning wherever I go. And it's storming snow and sleet. Ya it's storming. Wherever we meet. There's a warning to get out of the road. There's a warning up in the sky. Every morning and every night. Clouds are forming. And I don't know why but it's storming. Time to get out of the road. Get out of the road. Get out of the road. I should get out of the road.
