The early Elvis classic with added pedal steel,

A beautiful Ry Cooder tune about the US/Mexican border situation.

A Bluegrassy warning about everybody's future.
05 It Only Hurts When I Cry [Yoakam/Miller]
A Dwight Yoakam tune. Great country piano from John Bickersteth.
06 Santo Rita [Greene]
A song about an idyllic California home, obviously imaginary!
07 No Surprises [Yorke]
Country version of the Radiohead classic. John Peel once said Thom Yorke would make a fine country
singer !

The oldest of my songs featured here, this goes back to 1999 and was written about unexpectedly meeting
an old love.

An impassioned plea to move on from the past.
