Richard Shindell

Just starting to listen to him. Youtubes being a bitch and not allowing linking so I've linked to Shindell's discography page. Was captivated by a song recently sent to me by a friend. The song is supposedly about the war in Kosovo, but I haven't verified that and if you know, tia on posting.

Song: You Stay Here.

You stay here
And I'll go look for wood
Do not fear
I'll be back soon enough
Do not let the fire die
Neither let it burn too bright

You stay here
And I'll go look for bread
And if I can
Some sugar for the kids
Dry your eyes - I'll be alright
I know where they've laid the mines

You stay here
And I'll go look for coats
There may still be
Some out on the road
We'll wash them clean with melted snow
The kids don't ever have to know

You stay here
And I'll go look for guns
I think I know
Where they've hidden some
Cause if the Tiger comes one night
We won't go without a fight

You stay here
And I'll go look for God
Not so hard
Cause I know where he's not
I will bring him back with me
Make him listen - make him see

You stay here
And I'll go look for wood

 

Youtube isn't being a bitch to me. I keep my pimp hand strong.

heard the kenworth of my dreams? how about the one - cold missouri waters? two of my favorites.

 

No, I haven't heard either of those yet just making my way through Somewhere Near Patterson. But looking forward to hearing more.

Did you think You Stay Here sounded similar to The Wreck of Edmund Fitzgerald?

 

he's a good guitar player
