Ghost of the Blues

from Stalk That Myth by Bowery Boy Blue

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Recorded at Steve Albini’s recording studio, Electrical Audio, in August of 2007. Stalk That Myth features a talented cast of characters, including Jason Toth (Edith Frost, Manishevitz, The Zincs) on drums and Marika Hughes on Cello.
    "Sometimes you hear music that is so heartbreakingly beautiful that you can't help being drawn to it. That is definitely the case with NYC's Bowery Boy Blue. Their CD, Stalk That Myth, plays like a lo-fi Americana orchestra. Touching vocals delivered in a way that you can't get out of your head, layered instrumentation... it's all there. Take a listen to "Come Closer, Sisters" and hear for yourself."

lyrics

Greys on the passing by look like the forlorn moon. And you want to sing along. Along with the ghost of the blues.
Along with the ghost of the blues. Along with the ghost of the blues. You want to spread your weary hands and sing with the ghost of the blues.

The gold from the dying day falls from the east to the west bleeding all the ghosts away like the red from your lover's dress. Red from your lover's dress. Red from your lover's dress. The golden light from the dyin' day fades like your lovers dress.

The black of the rolling hills rolls over every man. Only the ghost of the blues can make it back out again. Make it back out again. Make it back out again. Only the dream of the ghost of the blues can make it back out again.
