Will!


Will Kimbrough “This Modern World” from Merlin on Vimeo.

Why don’t you say what you mean?
You’re just mouthing the right words
Looks like you’re perfectly made for this modern world.
I’m just an old-fashioned guy
Strictly kicking it old-school
I don’t think I can compete in this modern world.

a word from Macon Greyson

Macon Greyson was here on Saturday and I missed it. Why? It was date night. I had other things on my mind…

Macon Greyson: ” So shut up, play guitar and write a song
And tell me how to feel
Play your worthless country song if you’ll tell me how to feel
Folk singers got that shit all wrong
won’t you tell me how to feel
How will I know what to think if you don’t tell me how to feel?”

Lotsa tour dates coming up, mostly in or around Texas. Notice they open Dallas on Sept. 9 for Rodney Crowell (who has Will Kimbrough touring with him on guitar, I’ve written lots about him before). That promises to be a fantastic show.

Will Kimbrough has added a new web site with some cool info:
www.myspace.com/willkimbroughdaddy

This guy is the real deal. If you doubt that, get in touch and I’ll hook you up with some of his stuff (audio/video). He flat out rocks. And, he’s a daddy and not afraid to say so.

Piece of work

I haven’t posted song lyrics in a while. This is a great tune by Will Kimbrough, covered recently by Jimmy Buffett and (ugh) Toby Kieth.

Piece of Work

I’m a piece of work, I’m iron and lace
I’m shy, I’m right up in your face
I’m all dumbfounded, stubborn as an ass
Sharp as an arrow in a pile of glass.
I’m a sweetheart, genius, reckless jerk.
Lord, have mercy, I’m a piece of work.

Well the Lord made me on a long thin limb
Made sure I’d remeber him or her
In the middle of a long dark night
Creation crazy, death-sheet white
Made in the image of a lion shocked lamb
I am who the hell I am
Even better, bad to worse,
Down to the letter, I’m a piece of work.

I’m a piece of work I’m an angels fiend
Bathed in lavender and gasoline
Scared brave, shallow in an ink black well
Lightly browned in the fires of hell
Wicked, holy, full on fake
Best known for my big mistake
I’m zen wise, peaceful, gone berserk
Good God almighty, What a piece of work.

I’m a dreadful sight, I just don’t care
Spent all morning pull out my hair
Woke at dawn with a crazy spin
I was half the day trying to glue back in
Mother, bloody mary, please
Wipe that smile right off your knees
I’m the CEO of the mailroom clerks
Lord have mercy, I’m a piece of work.

I’m a piece of work, I’m a love sick boy
Cloth cap, caviar, and corduroy
All over the map, justa lost in space
With a filthy mind and a choirboy’s face
Heels up, head down, straight on through
Watch out woman, I’m a get to you
I’m a gladiator with a mind to irk
I’m a see you later, I’m a piece of work.
