Tejon Street Corner Thieves - Wayfaring Stranger

Colorado Springs outlaw alt-folk group, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, have announced the details for their new album Stolen Goods. The 10-track was recorded at Royal Recordings in Colorado Springs with producer Bill Douglass, and pays homage to the classic traditional Americana, folk, and bluegrass songs that helped redefine genres; and lay the groundwork for what would become the roots of modern folk.
"This release is a collection of songs that are staples in our band's history. Even before we were a band, I was traveling the country and playing music and busking. I picked up a ton of traditional and old-time tunes along the way,' said Connor O’Neal from Tejon Street Corner Thieves. "I really got into artists like Pink Anderson and jug bands like the Mississippi Sheiks and took a ton of inspiration from them. These were the songs we played when the band first formed. Before we even started writing our own songs, these were the ones we’d play when we busked. And we’ve kept them around ever since. We love sneaking them into our sets to keep that old spirit alive."
Shawn D’Amario adds, "The title 'Stolen Goods' was an easy choice for this album because we can’t take any credit for writing these. They are American traditional songs. They shaped music as we know it today. The rag songs turned into jazz, the blues songs turned into rock n roll. Like many before us, we stole them. And songs with that much history tend to be good ones!"
Traditional music has produced some timeless classic songs that have influenced countless generations of songwriters. These classic Traditional songs have been passed down for generations and the roots can be traced back to as early as the mid-1800s, making them some of the most important and essential moments in music history. Tejon Street Corner Thieves have re-recorded these timeless classics and re-worked them adding their own unique trash grass twist to make them their own.
When it came time to assemble the visual album artwork, Tejon Street Corner Thieves were blessed with an original illustration by artist Jim Evans, also known as TAZ the “Rock Poster God”. TAZ has illustrated and designed some of the most iconic rock posters for everyone from Neil Young, the Ramones, Smashing Pumpkins, Pixies and more.

LYRICS:
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There’s no sickness, no toil, no danger
In this bright light to which I go
I’m going back, to see my mother
I’m going back, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
These dark clouds, they will surround me
I know my path is rough and steep
These green fields that lie before me
I know my needs are rough and deep
And I know, I’ll see my father
I’m going back, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
I am a poor wayfaring stranger
Traveling through this world alone
There’s no sickness, no toil, no danger
In this bright light to which I go
I’m going back, to see my mother
I’m going back, no more to roam
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
I’m only going over Jordan
I’m only going over home
