MASON works the land two weeks after his accident FOUND THE BARN in ‘81, it aint worth what he spent COUNTRY MAN his time cut short doesn’t have much more to live EVER SINCE that oak tree fell can’t seem to pay the bills BUT WASH YOUR HANDS and feed your guest the beat here hasn’t changed GOD HAS WRAPPED his bones in a box but his wooden spine can handle it ---- BORN UPON the plateau, Rockwood Tennessee HONEY WHEN I’m gone take the road to the Bayou like you dreamed IN THE MEANTIME, cigarettes there’s no need to worry just yet NO NEED Evelyn just yet ---- EVELYN’S INSIDE watching the boys they’re punchin holes in the wall WE BUILT this house with our bare hands and I’ll tell you that we’re proud of it BUT SLIP the painting off the wall in a box to the cousin in Memphis SELL THE CLOTHES to the butchers kids and load my father’s gun HOW CAN YOU just sit here if you’re only dyin once. ---- BORN UPON the plateau, Rockwood Tennessee HONEY WHEN I’m gone take the road to the Bayou like you dreamed IN THE MEANTIME, cigarettes there’s no need to worry just yet NO NEED Evelyn just yet

COME ON OUT OF NASHVILLE, calling from the vines SUNDAY MORNING there’s no better time MEET ME AT THE JUNCTION, Highway 70 WE’LL TAKE YOU to the farm we’re dear old friends of Lee CHICKENS IN THE COOP, tractors in the field THESE WILD TREES were used to build the old red walls ---- UNDERNEATH the stones written on the beam JACKIE’S NAME the daughter of Mr. Butcher Barlow HIS GUITAR PICKS lay in the cracks it seems we aren’t alone I’M LIVING WITH the ghost of Mr. Butcher Barlow I’M LIVING WITH the ghost of Mr. Butcher Barlow ---- LONG AGO HE BUILT the house his one hit wonder sang THEY DANCED AROUND this covered porch until the day he ran WINTER COMES and takes the wood and roots will climb inside BEFORE YOU KNEW it that singing house had curled up and died ---- UNDERNEATH the stones written on the beam JACKIE’S NAME the daughter of Mr. Butcher Barlow HIS GUITAR PICKS lay in the cracks it seems we aren’t alone I’M LIVING WITH the ghost of Mr. Butcher Barlow I’M LIVING WITH the ghost of Mr. Butcher Barlow ---- AUCTIONED OFF saved from condemnation was a gift RICK AND MYRA found the home at the bottom of the list STONE BY STONE and brick by brick MYRA SAW the only way this beauty could be fixed DON’T YOU rip it down oh no it's much more than it seems THESE SPIDER WEB chandeliers are the alter of our dreams ---- UNDERNEATH the stones written on the beam JACKIE’S NAME the daughter of Mr. Butcher Barlow HIS GUITAR PICKS lay in the cracks it seems we aren’t alone I’M LIVING WITH the ghost of Mr. Butcher Barlow I’M LIVING WITH the ghost of Mr. Butcher Barlow

OH MR. MCGHEE your frozen like the arctic dust A BOY FROM TENNESSEE crying from the glacial gust WHY DID HE CLIMB up from the golden hills HE’S THE ONLY ONE that moans only one that can’t seem to bear (The ice living in his bones) BORN AGAIN in the Yukon HE DIED by fire in the Yukon ---- OH OUT IN THE NORTH land where the sun never touched the tail of the Bering Sea THE PROMISES THAT were made the debt was unpaid I was to burn Mr. Mcgee ---- ACHING FROM THE gold rush held him like a mystic spell FEEL THAT TOUCH of tundra, Heighten your sense of smell CANNOT LEAVE but he will get warm somehow HEY MY FRIEND you are my chance at resting AT LAST he was smiling at last his embers dripped ASKED IF HE WAS OK he told me to shut the door (Shut the storm out son) BORN AGAIN in the Yukon HE DIED by fire in the Yukon ------ OH OUT IN THE NORTH land where the sun never touched the tail of the Bering Sea THE PROMISES THAT were made the debt was unpaid I was to burn Mr. Mcgee

I MET A PREACHER west of Muscle Shoals CLERICAL EYES they cut like a wire TOLD ME HOW the river, how the Tennessee runs IT FEEDS FROM the east on a wild hunt BUT DON’T YOU GO thinking, it’s a random mistake SEE HOW THOSE currents all turn to the lake I’M NOT A SALESMAN at least not right now BUT LISTEN TO THE BEAT when you boiled it down ----- OH THE RIVER is much more than it seems OH THE RIVER is much more than it seems FLOODS THE HILLS, it's filling your lungs MY TONGUE IS TIED but you know what I mean OH THE RIVER is much more than it seems ----- SING ME A SONG, remember your blood FEEL THE OLD BONES of the drummer that you love ACCIDENTS HAPPEN to most everyone BUT THE BEST conversations are interruptions I AM NO EXPERT but it sure seems to me That the waters all moving in one direction ---- OH THE RIVER is much more than it seems OH THE RIVER is much more than it seems FLOODS THE HILLS, it's filling your lungs MY TONGUE IS TIED but you know what I mean OH THE RIVER is much more than it seems

I WAS BORN a fish a water child, I could breath underwater for a while THE REEF the bubble beds the Jelly heads they had my blood, had my blood I, I FLIPPED A ROCK my fin got stuck for the first time I look up THROUGH the glassy crest I saw a nest, a cormorant, oh the way she flew with a fire inside WAVES DISGUISED her eyes but I saw her smile OH IT was electric I couldn't touch it and that's alright ---- TELL ME OF THE SCOTIA BREEZE, I’ll tell you of the Great Lake Reef TAKE ME TO THE GOLDEN SANDS, If you take me to the Caribou Islands TELL ME OF THE SCOTIA BREEZE, I’ll tell you of the Great Lake Reef TAKE ME TO THE GOLDEN SANDS, If you take me to the Caribou Islands ---- SHE LANDS and talks to me she sets me free, she takes a slice (sets her price) I WAS EATEN BY your love that evening oh what you believe in SHE LIT ME, SHE LIT ME UP I watched in silence, Oh I seemed to vibrate ---- TELL ME OF THE SCOTIA BREEZE, I’ll tell you of the Great Lake Reef TAKE ME TO THE GOLDEN SANDS, If you take me to the Caribou Islands TELL ME OF THE SCOTIA BREEZE, I’ll tell you of the Great Lake Reef TAKE ME TO THE GOLDEN SANDS, If you take me to the Caribou Islands

HE’S COMING for the Celtic Sea, the gold parade is ushering him in BUT HE’S RUNNING from that masquerade, the Frenchman had his victory (It seems that he has had it for a while) HE FOUND IT FOR A MINUTE when the storm began to break HE FELT IT in the fire room where he began to think OH NOW I KNOW just what I got, OH NOW I KNOW just what I got I AM THE CAPTAIN of my ship I see clear just what I missed (I guess I will go running for a while) ---- THE DELUGE OF THE DREAM, is washing over me I FELL IN LOVE more than I could wish OH OH MY ANGELFISH ---- WHY WOULD WE WAIT FOR the silver sun to come along WAITING FOR ANOTHER ONE waiting for another time to be WE CAN CROSS the seas we can ride a wicked gust MEET ME in the galley I got your favorite cup, Just sit here with me darling for a while DISAPPEAR among the waves find a way to dance among the craze I GUESS I WILL GO running (sailing) for a while ---- THE DELUGE OF THE DREAM, is washing over me I FELL IN LOVE more than I could wish OH OH MY ANGELFISH

Yea I got the devil You got the judge How will we ever turn around? But meet me in the garden I’ll meet you in the market Ooh Ooh Yea We’ll travel to the north lands Ill call you by a nickname Emmylooh ooh That trail in the woods Was made by a maker And down by the river we will Rise ----- Break down the devil that was born in my mind Break down the devil that was born in my mind They were callin out Well you were bound to fall You said we were bound to fall in love ----- That man at the station Said proceed with caution He danced on a flying trapeze He said he’s got a short cut From Michigan to Georgia Ooh Ooh Your a nomadic wise child Born like the rest of us But can you recall where you came? Cmon open up the flood gates Let in the flood gates The feeling is one of a kind ---- Break down the devil that was born in my mind Break down the devil that was born in my mind They were callin’ out Well you were bound to fall You said we were bound to fall in love They were callin’ out Well you were bound to fall You said we were bound to fall in love

about

‘Angelfish’ is a journey across the United States from East to West, from fear to freedom. The album opens with rusty love songs reminiscent of classic Americana folk and captures the heartbeat of rural Appalachia.

As the territory extends into the western desert, the music opens its heart and seems to dance on oceanic cliffs.

The final moments of the album echo earlier tracks yet flow freely and reconsider the present moment.
