![]() Bright Morning Stars (2011) [ larger cover art ] |
Half mile from the riverside
Square wood building hard and white
I'll take water, I'll take night
I will swim through snow and ice
Laid your story down on me
Forced inside the good belief
Now I only dream my words
Fly away like blackened birds
Oh I feel these lessons burn inside the person I've become
Edges curl and darken as I do what has been done
Cheek on floorboard, hand in fire
Little sister dressed in white
Last day she was seen alive
Walking to the riverside
We will never get to hide from it no matter how we run
All things come to find us and we'll do what has been done
Have your holy, I'll have mine
Soil and birch and open sky
All our stories some day go
Dust from air and earth from bone
Oh I hear the ancients calling that we'll know from where we've come
There on that horizon we will see what has been done
Square wood building hard and white
I'll take water, I'll take night
I will swim through snow and ice
Laid your story down on me
Forced inside the good belief
Now I only dream my words
Fly away like blackened birds
Oh I feel these lessons burn inside the person I've become
Edges curl and darken as I do what has been done
Cheek on floorboard, hand in fire
Little sister dressed in white
Last day she was seen alive
Walking to the riverside
We will never get to hide from it no matter how we run
All things come to find us and we'll do what has been done
Have your holy, I'll have mine
Soil and birch and open sky
All our stories some day go
Dust from air and earth from bone
Oh I hear the ancients calling that we'll know from where we've come
There on that horizon we will see what has been done

No thanks. This is lovely on the ears and the women's voices are soothing and smooth. Waylon Jennings fails on all three counts, at least. Funny, I can't bear C and/or W - Whiskeytown's effort a few songs back sparked a gag reflex and insta-mute - yet I really take to most of the Wailin' Jennys' output. Maybe they're just C without the W, or maybe a variant of C that doesn't invoke denim-clad alcoholics with tattooed necks and 'relationship issues' drowning their sorrows in some hick bar (kinda like you can see in Withernsea) to the accompaniment of horizontal gittars. Anyway, 8 from the seduced Nottingham jury. |
| stevendejong | Posted: Feb 26, 2012 - 02:49 What about composing more than 8 bars of music and repeating them 50 times? Yawn. |
| rushed (Edwardsville, IL) | Posted: Jan 25, 2012 - 09:58 Exquisite guitarwork. |

| emmidad (Los Gatos, CA) | Posted: Jun 22, 2011 - 15:43 Introduced to me on RP. Just saw them last night at Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, CA. Very nice show, just as pretty and pure as the CD tracks. They are all songwriters with about equal contribution to the live show. A few songs from other writers but most of their work is home grown. |
| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Jun 10, 2011 - 17:45 I know this is hopelessly biased, but I love the Jennys, and they almost always get a 10. |
| greendave (Raleigh, NC) | Posted: Jun 02, 2011 - 08:01 snag this album...this is my least favorite on the album, and its still good. |
| hippiechick (topsy turvy land) | Posted: May 25, 2011 - 17:11 Thank you for playing new Jennys Bill! |
| emmidad (Los Gatos, CA) | Posted: May 24, 2011 - 12:32 Love this band! |
| coding_to_music (Beantown) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 09:40 really good stuff |
| hifi (Campinas, Brasil) | Posted: May 06, 2011 - 09:38 smooth |
| Byronape (Purgatory) | Posted: May 04, 2011 - 09:15 Reminds me of the album Jenny Lewis did with the Watson Twins. Wonder if this album us as good. |
| CCDP | Posted: Apr 29, 2011 - 09:57 Just saw The Jennys in Norfolk Va, and they are one of those groups that are better live. They sang One Voice to perfection. |
| Stingray (Where JULIAN is supported!) | Posted: Apr 29, 2011 - 09:37 A penny for Jenny - not a penny more! |
| glassman (Nanaimo, British Columbia) | Posted: Apr 29, 2011 - 09:35 Music gotta be Daniel Langois. |
| the_jake (on the sideline) | Posted: Apr 24, 2011 - 03:45 ...........Nice harmonizing .......... |
| fatcatjb (Sunny Sacramento) | Posted: Apr 20, 2011 - 09:52 I got to see the Jennys last summer in Winters, CA. Excellent show...I gave serious consideration to driving to Sebastipol to see the next night's show, but it was sold out |
| Flipmode (Spartanburg, SC) | Posted: Apr 02, 2011 - 17:42 a bit too slow for me. They do have nice voices though |

| PeeBee (Down South in The Netherlands) | Posted: Mar 22, 2011 - 10:11 Sounds a bit like a whale song...nice. |
| grogg | Posted: Mar 22, 2011 - 10:10 Wow, I thought the intro to this song said "A new album from Waylon Jennings..."
RIP Waylon |
