Well Brian and me were getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge
Down where the moss hangs low and the muddy water meets the ridge
It wasn't so long ago round here yeah I swore I was stuck
Y'all it's a hell of a thing getting high where you grew up
And see the sun bouncing off the water
Colored with yellow, green and red
Oh, Brian and me there we hid
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge
Well the storms cloud came and the moon it started to rise
Could feel the red hue starting to form in each other's eyes
Could hear the music playing softly and the cars passing overhead
Just a passing back and forth that left handed cigarette
Could see the sun bouncing off the water
Colored with yellow, green and red
Oh, Brian and me there we hid
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge
Well she grew up a few miles outside of town
You know everyone around here they just put her down
And I remember a time back when we were both so young
Can feel her lips touch mine as she exhales into my lungs
Could see the sun bouncing off the water
Colored with yellow, green and red
Oh, her and me there we hid
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge
Oh, her and me there we hid
Getting high neath the Mermentau Bridge

Each year the same story: My wife (handmade pop music) and I (black metal maniac) go on holiday. We need some "soft" but honest music for long car drives. It is a tough week in advance to dive deeply into musical scrap to find some pearls like MARGO PRICE! She presents easy going country pop, smooth and with pleasant vocals, reminding me sometimes even at Stevie Nicks. The title track is one of my favourites, but also the other songs are catchy and performed with smooth energy, H.L.

Like most "tribute" type albums, this will probably be more greatly appreciated by fans of the musician playing the songs than by fans of the original artist, but I'll be honest: I was never particularly a massive fan of Guy Clarke (though I like his better known hits like those on Heartworn Highways and Together at the Bluebird Cafe). However, I do love almost everything Steve Earle does, including this, so it was kind of a "must buy" just for that reason. ivanerik

Heard this on WNCW today and listened on repeat all day. Had to buy the vinyl and show my support. This is gonna be my summer 2020 album and I’m perfectly fine with that. Great work and look forward to the streams later this month. Find the podcast from Southern Songs & Stories about the band and album. mrsoulmarkj
