All right, not gonna change previous "Sucko Barfo" but NICE JOB BILL slippin this into the mix almost seamlessly. Bravo.

Okay, followed by China Bird. I bow to the master. I renounce any claim to harp about NM ever ever again. Radio Magic.

<insert incredible playlist here>

Another legendary set keeps building, Jimi Cliff, Taj Mahal, The Audreys ......

"Saint Judas"
Saddle up the horses and wear your Sunday best
Sing your Sacred Harp, you be holier than the rest
Fill up the room with a grand and a thunderous song
Let it rattle out the windows, let it spill out on the lawn
Shout, shout your praises to the man who kissed the Lord
To the back stabbing brother that betrayed all of this world
Your Judas!

Yea, though you may walk in the valley in the dark
There's no greater evil than the darkness in your heart
Your stun guns, bloodhounds, needle and your razor wire
Your nylon shackle whipping post and your high tech burning tire
Your Judas!

Whiplash crack across the back, across the arms
Although you bound his feet, he running fast he running hard
Through them crickets in the corn and them horses in the field
Hear the "caw, caw" of the crows
See the devil at the wheel y'all, Judas!

Go on down to Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas,
Oklahoma, Texas, Kentucky, Florida, Louisiana and Tennessee,
Georgia, Carolina, Carolina.


this is why we love her, and why see does not get played on mainstream radio, she tells the truth. most can't handel that..........

It might be all right if she could sing instead of YODEL.

ICK.

Please consider this a SPAM for anything and everything RP plays by her.

I personally love her voice. But even better is the instrumentation she has on nearly all her songs which is superb.

Saw her a couple of years ago and her band were so tight.

Gone a bit quite of late though.

All ye of distinctive voice stand proud, stand tall. if it were up to the clone lovers we would have no Billy Bragg, Morrissey, Natalie Merchant, Talking Heads, Lou Reed, P J Harvey, Nick Cave, and the list just keeps on rolling on. How much sadder the world would be then.

Sorry that's not "distinctive voice" that's Kermit The Frog yodeling. Blech. Awful damn noise.
