Alina 04:38
Alina I am still wondering if you're scared of me hiding behind your castle wall Alina I am wondering if that pain you seek is hidden somewhere and lost Please don't stand there with your finger in my face I'm coming whether you like it or not Please don't stand there poking fun at me your beauty only hides what you're not The storm is over now and you've been cast away how does it feel to be lost The storm is over but the pain you seek Alina I still wonder the cost All those faces looking down at you I wonder will you last this time Alina I still wonder if you'll make it at all what business is it of mine

Flicker 03:28
That man is down on his luck A one time rambler whose life is crashed and stuck Now cold and lonely Thinking where he's been Then he jumps a train Hoping to start again Smoking wasted butts, nowhere to rest Hearing what others say about his looks in his distress He had chased a ghost nearly all his days Hobo hopping Till the city lights fade away Give me the last flicker of hope Give me the last glimmer of hope Lost out in the darkness till you find your rope Give me the last flicker of hope Stop in a small mountain town Faces look elsewhere But he didn't care Just wondering from here to there Maybe this is the place where he needs to fall Maybe he's found his ghost after all Give me the last flicker of hope Give me the last glimmer of hope Lost out in the darkness till you find your rope Give me the last flicker of hope

Jubilee 04:31
It's all out on the old railroad All out on the sea All out on the old railroad Far as I can see Swing and turn, jubilee Live and learn, jubilee I wish I had a new needle and thread Fine as I could sew I'd sew my true love to my side Down the road I'd go Swing and turn, jubilee Live and learn, jubilee My wife died on a Friday night Saturday she was buried Sunday was my courting day Monday I got married Swing and turn, jubilee Live and learn, jubilee It's all out on the old railroad All out on the sea All out on the old railroad Far as I can see Swing and turn, jubilee Live and learn, jubilee

I've climbed the highest mountain I've run the fastest mile I know the smartest people Will you be worth my while? She came in through the backroom Her skin so pale and fair I wondered to my own self Will I ask her, do I dare? The sea runs deep forever The sea runs deep and blue The current sweeps you under What will become of you? I thought I would impress her Well, I thought that she would be Amazed by my accomplishments I took myself so seriously She looked me over one time And gave a little grin Her love to important For whom pride was no sin The sea runs deep forever The sea runs deep and blue The current sweeps you under What will become of you?

Road 05:06
Run waters as we get down water as we pray Run farmers till the ground before it's washed away Searching are we all then it comes real clear Always blurred that granite brownish hue Well I've seen it before Still I sit here in wonder Followed like a star We're on the road Here we are again it all seems so far away Got carried away last night the dreams they flood back in Wasted were we all then it comes real clear We all have that chance to start where we start again Well I've seen it before Still I sit here in wonder Followed like a star We're on the road Lost are we all till we're found once again Time takes us all spits us out again I wondered once where we all go again Then it came back around like a wheel or a circle spins Well I've seen it before Still I sit here in wonder Followed like a star We're on the road

Information 04:35
Take it from me, you can get it for free Take it from you, it might be true Get it from him, get it from her Push it around baby, what's the word? Someone else said, someone else said, someone said Something about that news man really smells Get it from a box till it hits the rocks Sticks to you like a dream or socks Wear it out but it's wearing thin It's a trap, the fox is in Someone else said, someone else said, someone said Something about that news man really smells You might hear it from your neighbor, your all time savior Prepare for danger as it's coming like a stranger Someone said that up was down It's a pretty little poem till it hits the ground Someone else said, someone else said, someone said Something about that news man really smells

Not Long Ago 03:10
Wasn't that long ago you were sitting by my side wasn't that long ago I had nothing to hide wasn't that long ago I was happy and feeling free wasn't that long ago you were such a good friend to me Then I think... If I could just have a drink on the brink I don't want to think Time changed and rearranged I chose a different road to hoe Mama cried but the tears in her eyes were like dessert salt in Mexico things got strange I found a horse with no name and oh how we rode all that was was a couple of times not that long ago Then I think... If I could just have a drink on the brink I don't want to think Contemplate and wonder who I am and where I am today was a tree, fast cars or whiskey that made me change my way friends and family feel that way with wonder in their eyes but I just keep on trucking along over bridges and rivers of lies Then I think... If I could just have a drink on the brink I don't want to think

Pavement 04:05
Well this girl I've known to be Everything lying next to me Unseen future and I must know Like an aperture scratching out on my window This road I've seen before Traveled over and down and more The way may be old But the pavement is new This town, not new to me no more There's a bar, a school and a grocery store The people in it give me such a bore I feel like running away This road I've seen before Traveled over and down and more The way may be old But the pavement is new What's the new road That I must take Is it filled with smiles and birthday cake? Or low down dirges that make your soul shake? Answer me that question man This road I've seen before Traveled over and down and more The way may be old But the pavement is new

Walk along the road a while, you may find a traveler there With a bright glow of desire, disaster in her hair Jack of all the trades of men and a master of none "What's her name?", you may ask Ira, she's the one Ira in her younger years could rob, steal and cheat She still had all her fingers, she had the gift of deceit When she stumbled on a game of chance, there was little risk involved How was she to know, how that game would resolve She said Run Ira, run if you can Run because you're free Run Ira, the game is still at hand Time's a tyranny The dye was cast, and the tea leaves read, lightening struck the ground The lights went out and Ira cried, "What game have I found?" Suddenly a light shown down, it was silent and still And then the spirit came down and took Ira at its will She said Run Ira, run if you can Run because you're free Run Ira, the game is still at hand Time's a tyranny She said, "I've had enough, my time is up I'm ready to be released I've work so hard, put in my days and gathered for the feast" Scattered, battered, tossed around, still coming back for more If life is like a game, Ira wanted more Spun out through the sands of time, the mystery unwinds It's 100 foot of water, and it's so hard to find Run Ira, run if you can Run because you're free Run Ira, the game is still at hand Time's a tyranny

about

Hailing from Western Watauga County in the High Country of North Carolina, Loose Roosters have been building a sound. The band blends their roots music background into an electric experience that is both ethereal and exciting.

Loose Roosters new self-titled album is their 3rd studio outing. Tim Jones, frontman of the band says “It sounds the most like us out of any of our other recordings to date.” The album contains some previously released songs from previous albums including Blood and Bone and Tim’s solo project Dead and Gone.

Honing their sound during the tumultuous past two years, Loose Roosters present a collection of songs that capture the mystical sound of the mysterious mountains in which they reside. Seth Sullivan, who created the art work for this new release, fronts the band Naked Gods and runs the Boone Area Community Radio program Real Companion Radio Hour, describes the sound as “Homegrown it’s alright with me! Spacey country rock sing alongs blowing in from western Watauga. ”

The record was recorded at Johnson City Sessions with the four members playing live in one room. “This was the first time in a recording situation we could be completely present for the music. In other sessions someone would have to man the recording rig and be present as a musician. We were also very comfortable with this material as we have been playing it live for over a year.” -Tim Jones

The new self-titled album is a calling card for the band. A true representation of the sound found somewhere in the fog on the mountainside.

about

Loose Roosters Boone, North Carolina

Loose Roosters

Finer gentlemen, you’ll meet few
Writing songs that are all brand new
Live in the mountains with a kangaroo
And boy who cries about the age of two
Many have tried to play as they do
But the soul of a rooster is required of you

Tell all you know to come from far and near
The roosters are loose so lend them your ear
