This Old Guitar 03:19
lyrics
buy track
When the setting sun hits the ground I'm singing Willie Nelson Songs Ring of fans heard in the background Guess we've been here all along And she said, damn buddy Won't you play another song? This bottle's almost gone You're sitting around the table And playing this old guitar Oh dear, just one more Seems there's something in the moonlight Makes it all come back to me And on these frigid winter mornings Hers is the face I love to see And she said, damn buddy Won't you play another song? This bottle's almost gone You're sitting around the table And playing this old guitar Oh dear, just one more And she said, damn buddy Won't you play another song? This bottle's almost gone You're sitting around the table And playing this old guitar Oh dear

Forest & Pride 03:03
lyrics

Can't get lost now Single out your pride Open your forest Find what's inside Cause I'm a rotted wood Don't get me wrong I've been lit up in this dark, twisted world All alone, I'll unfurl Cut the lights & Hear the groan I'm still breathing Don't leave me alone Cause I'm a rotted wood Don't get me wrong I've been lit up in this dark, twisted world All alone, I'll unfurl Talking lines, faking out all you squirrels All alone, I'll unfurl

Done Me In 02:47
lyrics

Lift me up I’m fallin My water’s all run dry But I’ve got to be a mosey'n For to get back my time Dark night when we run I will throw on my fringe Running down to the grain mill Knock that door off the hinge Anything around could’ve just fallen down and done me in Looking for that weather For to pour on my soul Sky is closed off for tether Take it back some more Whiskey in the evening Whiskey in the afternoon In this down time season In the morning too Anything around could’ve just fallen down and done me in

Indigo 02:58
lyrics

Think I’ll put a record on And see my world in colour Keep me away from where I was Taurus running down around the country And I see her ocean side Bringing that indigo into the evening light Think I’ll put a record on Take me from purgatory Keep me away from where I was Taurus is keeping me sane through the currents And she’s always on my mind Bringing that indigo into the evening light Think I’ll turn that record off The second side just ended Heading back to where I was Taurus kept me out from the under And she’s always by my side Bringing that indigo into the evening light

Mystery Fades 03:12
lyrics
buy track
Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades And the attractiveness of my drinking went away Wanting to bleed on my own Is what I need It’s how I’ve grown up As a pluviophile Draining the pain while I pray you’re not putting any dependence on me Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades And the attractiveness of my drinking went away Wanting to feed off my own history And how I’ve grown up As a pluviophile Draining the pain while I pray you’re not putting any dependence on me Let me put it this way I don’t blame you For doubting it when I say that I’m okay ‘Cause mystery fades And the attractiveness of my drinking went away You said, “I love you” first At least you knew what you were looking for If you haven’t noticed by now I’m an oblivious boy

Like The Wind 01:31
lyrics
buy track
Like the wind you, came out nowhere and you ruffled me up And I held on, I didn’t want the wind to thrown me down Now it’s our time to stay Don’t let the wind push us away And I’m leaving none behind As I’m walking out through time with you Like the wind you, cooled me off and showed me how to slow down Settled down, I was to forced to realize what I don’t need around Now I can’t sit still Don’t need any money for this thrill And I’m leaving none behind As I’m walking out through time with you

Whiskey & Waylon 03:04
lyrics
buy track
Heading Northeast out of the city into the woods Hunting waterfalls and finding river beds in shaded hills near where salmon run Hop the train tracks, just up and over the top of the falls There’s a meadow there, top the valley, pass the bottle around 'til the count Take me back, once again Amongst the evergreens and the softwoods of this eastern air Singing old songs and trading memories, long before the changing leaves and the dark Moon is rising, there’s Whiskey and Waylon in the air Pounding Johnny’s Drum, made down Noah’s mill, but we’re sitting here on Rowans Creek Take me back, once again Take me back, once again Up the river to that red tinned roof That old farm house just up over from the river bend Singing out those old songs “Bright lights and good timing friends” With Whiskey & Waylon, I’m always easy to stand

High Tide Queen 02:37
lyrics
buy track
With the changing seasons; so comes the changing bends Got me wrapping up my sins and tying up loose ends I’m talking in circles and spinning tricks Trying to keep eyes off these old licks My, high tide queen Have you seen what I’ve seen? My, high tide queen Frost is gonna burn We’ll have to shake, we’ll have to earn All that we own No, darlin, I would not consider us heathens But in times like these it’s hard to find something to believe in I’m talking in circles and spinning tricks Searching out the moment when the tide’ll switch My, high tide queen Have you seen what I’ve seen? My, high tide queen Summer’s gonna burn We’ll have to shake, we’ll have to earn All that we own

Out There Wednesday 02:43

Well he’s been reading about the old road To take him back once again Washed his hands, gonna move on Don’t look back is the plan Lookey out there this Wednesday Stubborn as an old boy can pawn It’s a long hard road from being calm Stack em up as ya chop em down Stay and reap what you sow Grease yer wheels at the station Turn around, go it alone Lookey out there this Wednesday Stubborn as an old boy can pawn It’s a long hard road from being calm

about

'Indigo' is my 3rd full length album, with much much less of a gap then there was between my first album (Songs of Last December) and my second (Songs of Old and Windsor), which was a gap of 5 years. Songs of Old and Windsor came out 3 months ago to the day, and here we are, releasing 'Indigo' into the world! Indigo was recorded mainly during the month of May with the recording taking place in both my bathroom & kitchen in our tiny Halifax apartment, with a couple overdubs in June.

In my mind, 'Indigo' makes the jump from my mainly acoustic music (with an electric guitar or other instruments making small appearances here and there) to more of a full band feel. This album feels to me like what I've been working towards; with slide guitars, electric pianos, drums and bass guitars, the instrumentation feels natural to me even though I've never made a record this way.

I sincerely hope that you all enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed creating it.
