There's a time and place, maybe even an era for every album and this sixth effort for this special little band sounds like it's shooting for all that and more. For example the title track:
Sing me a river
Go easy on me, I'm not doing too well
Do you hate me, honey
As much as I hate myself?...
...Standing in the wake with the sky still changing
What's it going to take to keep you missing the rambling rake with a heart of obsidian?
Standing in the wake with the sky still changing
These lyrics add up to a time of change and a sinking feeling happening in ones heart. I'm experiencing it myself as I'm about to move abroad yet again elsewhere. But what's exquisite is the roaring euphoria when M.C. Taylor sings the title lyric to the title track on the title album and everything comes together in the middle of the vena cava.
