Like gospel hymns that you called in the air.
Come down come down sweet reverence,
Unto my simple house and ring...
And ring
Ring like silver, ring like gold
Ring out those ghosts on the Ohio
Ring like clear day wedding bells
Were we the belly of the beast or the sword that fell...
We'll never tell
Come to me clear and cold on some sea
Watch the world spinning waves, like that machine
Now I've been crazy couldn't you tell
I threw stones at the stars, but the whole sky fell
Now I'm covered up in straw, belly up on the table
Well I drank and sang, and passed in the stable.
That tall grass grows high and brown,
Well I dragged you straight in the muddy ground
And you sent me back to where I roam
Well I cursed and I cried, but now i know...
now I know
And I ran back to that hollow again
The moon was just a sliver back then
And I ached for my heart like some tin man
When it came oh it beat and it boiled and it rang...
oh it's ringing
Ring like crazy, ring like hell
Turn me back into that wild haired gale
Ring like silver, ring like gold
Turn these diamonds straight back into coal.
Great to meet him again on Radioparadise!
Where else would you go from Garbage to Isakov? Love it!!

Seems he's Way over Yonder in a Minor Key.
Exactly what I thought! (And obviously many others)
Oh the magic of banjo :o)
Incredible! Yesterday afternoon I drove up the gnarly mountain roads to the fabulous old Gold Hill Inn, where a band was playing a free concert in the outdoor Beer Garden. The trees were turning and though the sun was blazing, you could feel the temperature drop as it set. The wildfire smoke had cleared, and for the first time in a long time, we could clearly see Long's Peak, and the Indian Peaks seemed close enough to be able to reach out and touch them. I went up Main Street to the General Store for some carrot cake and a shot of Fernet. The bartender joined me, as he had done the last time I enacted the ritual. When I went down to the old log-cabin saloon to score myself a pint of O'Dell's IPA, I heard an extended playlist of all of Mr. Isakov's songs being played over the sound system. Though the line was long, everyone was smiling and nodding and tapping, and it was all perfect. We are all indeed blessed to be here, and I am truly very grateful. RP and Gregory Alan Isakov are a big part of that feeling.
It sounds like one of those singular days in a special place where your world is at peace. I'm also really fixating on carrot cake and frenet(?) at the bar. It sounds like a worthy tradition.

Only an RP listener could appreciate this comment LOL!
Good Tune! I never heard of him before. Thanx RP!
Same here!
Kingart, it’s a play on the ‘brave new world’ of 1932, as explored by author Aldous Huxley. In that book he conveyed “After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.” And to quote from www.sparknotes.com ... Brave New World warns of the dangers of giving the state control over new and powerful technologies. One illustration of this theme is the rigid control of reproduction through technological and medical intervention, including the surgical removal of ovaries, the Bokanovsky Process, and hypnopaedic conditioning. We can reflect on that perhaps. I see the modern world as it slowly gobbles itself up as decadence, consumption and disposal replace notions of living within our means and actively striving to live more sustainably. Profits and unnecessary growth should not be viewed as optimum goals. But constraint, respect, diligence and getting in touch with our living environments is essential to survival.
Wow...profound stuff...was sort of more expecting a song comment, but okay, I like where you are coming from....and this song too, btw...

Perhaps it's mare-ly a sore throat? Hope you're not catching a colt....
Your last sentence brings to mind the virtue ethics of the ancient Greeks - Moderation, Justice, Courage and Wisdom - that the life-well-lived is defined not by material things, but by the cultivation of what is good in ourselves. Despite technology, the roots of many of our present problems are nothing new. We just periodically forget what we need to deal with them. Often it takes a crisis to remind us.
That's Billy Bragg!
That wild-haired gale. Reference to strong wind in the hair.
I believe "Way down yonder in a minor key" agrees. Listen to Broom Bezzums
It is a splendid happy wistful thoughtful track.
Pls define what you allude to by 'new brave order' and 'fair weather friends'.
Not that that's a bad thing

No where but Paradise my fellow listener. Hope Bill has a long life and career because I'm spoiled here.
And I have to up this simple little tune to a rare 10... it just gets in my soul like very few songs can do. If I had more time I'd share a story about this song and some fungus and a guitar playing friend.
...are you strong enough to be my man?...
Yes; it's a pretty common chord progression in the verse: I-IV-vi-V.
I wish all my garbage could be so sweet as 'Visions of Johanna'
Great live as well.
...are you strong enough to be my man?...
Hehe, on 2018-08-27 clever RP played Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough" immediately next in the stream after this song.
Agreed.

Absolutely amazing show.
This song was the encore.
get lucky sometimes!
...... x 2 :))
That's the spirit :)))
A few people have taken a swing at it here. Pretty deep stuff (like most of what RP plays, and what make RP great Thx Bill).
Edit: It apparently is a song about everything according to Gregory in this BING Lounge session (sadly missing the banjo though).
i have had bits of this in my head for the last 3 days
now i finally know who and what it is
i feel so happy right now
I love the subtle Banjo work. Seems to be a trend as of late. One I enjoy.

We live in the same neck of the woods. This is beautiful & lyrical. I could do with a bit less finger picking, perhaps. But it's good, strong songwriting. 8
you should try swimming in it before it merges with the Mississippi at Cairo.
But watch out for them wakes from the barges. That's crazy stuff. And don't swallow any river water.
