LATE NIGHT JUKEBOX JUNKIE
There’s two dollars left in the wallet on my lap
Man, it has seen better days.
The heating bill is overdue
And the landlord won’t stop calling.
I disconnected the phone but
He keeps banging on the window pane.
I’m packin’ up this battered suitcase
Filled with diamond rings, a Santa outfit and my taxidermist’s will
He left me all of his stock
And I’ve got just one question for you:
Could your porch use a stuffed rabbit?
I saw this girl I used to know
She wore the North Wind like a shawl
Wrapped around her neck.
Her arms were like trumpets
Hair like a fisherman’s net.
I’m on the street corner
Small change in my bowler hat
Buskin’ for a Greyhound ticket
Headin’ back to
New Orleans.

Chamberlain
Chamberlain - The South Has Spoiled Me (feat. Brian Fallon)
This song absolutely slays me. On repeat with a cup of coffee and the rain on my window as I lesson plan my heart out.
“If you heard those old birds in the night, you’d wake me up and say there were horses in the trees.”

A Conversation Betwixt Me and I
Me: Hey Cail, did you know you just scored your 80th follower?
I: No shit, yeah? That’s great, what’s their handle?
Me: The Blues, Mary.
I: Yep, makes sense.
Welcome, one and all! Thanks for following. And check out The Blues, Mary. She has good taste.

The Gaslight Anthem - Boxer (Rare Acoustic Version)
“Don’t expect a folk record. Here’s a good description, if Tom Waits, the National, the Afghan Whigs, Bon Iver, and Nick Cave made a band with Percy Sledge that’d be called The Horrible Crowes.”
—Brian Fallon, discussing his BRAND NEW BAND THE HORRIBLE CROWES. Praise the Lord, I’ve worn my copy of American Slang into the ground, with no signs of stopping.
