    Spotify led me to spend 4 hours of my life grooving out to Bow Thayer! I love music that moves me, and this is solid gold!

      Same story...You know your having a few beers the music plays , you get caught up in whatever then your playlist ends and they continue with music from similar artist, and then you hear this and go WTF.

    I blasted this song 3 times in a row heading west on the NY Thruway last fall. It was drizzling, the road was wet, and I dialed my windshield wipers to go in time with the song. F*ckin' perfect!

    Tween now and then
    Seems like a long, long time
    I'd duck beneath the radar and
    I'd sneak across the line
    Stop up in St Alban's
    And up in Montreal
    I'd make pretend I didn't know
    What was being bought and sold
    I met a lot of strange folk
    In this dirty game
    Woman so evil
    I won't even say her name
    She had me from
    The first time around
    She held me so sweetly as
    She pinned me down
    And it felt so real
    It felt so right
    All we ever did was eat and
    Drink and f**k and fight
    The deal got bent
    She turned me in
    I ducked beneath the radar
    I was on the road again
    Strong of muscle
    Strong of will
    Weak of the heart at
    The top of the hill
    From up there one can rule
    For miles around
    But humble is the man
    Who walks back down
    And the road is rough
    And it's hard to see
    Gotta slow down the pace
    Have some faith in destiny
    And I hear those sirens
    They're calling me
    Their silver tongues they tempt me
    With unbridled clarity
    I dip my cup in holy water
    Tip my crown of thorns
    And I stumbled down off the hill
    With the cross that I was hung
    Now and then
    I drift back in time
    I think about the love and lust
    That I left behind
    And it's good by the rose
    Good by gun
    Hello to that virgin land
    Where I belong
    And I hear those voices
    Calling me
    Amongst the wingless angels
    In perfect harmony

    My reaction exactly. I hear bits of Steve Earle here... and Jerry Garcia, Dylan's Nashville Skyline and The Band in others. Awesome lyrics to go with the talent. Can't ask for much more than that.

      Bow Thayer is one of America's premier songwriters. I hadn't heard of him either until 2005 when a friend gave me a compilation of about 20 of his songs for my birthday. I completely flipped. Next time I saw my friend, I was raving about Bow's work, and asking "who IS this guy?". Only then did she tell me that he lived only 10 miles from me. Holy shit!

    Thank you Spotify. But I'm confused. Why isn't this guy everywhere? I can't stop grooving on his stuff. Dancing too!. Took the time today to playlist and listen for 5 hours. Just gets better.

      It’s a clear example of the music business texting at the wheel in regards to Bow. He has about 30 albums and I’ve never seen a bad review. His earlier band 7 League Boots influenced Rage Against The Machine and here he is with Levon ! That is range…

    I've I've listened to this song three times a day since I found out about it a year ago and turned about 20 or 30 people on to this song and to on to bow.. you'd feel pretty good if you wrote that song at the end of the day! Thanks Dylan's got nothing on you

    He has de tuned down a fret which makes it difficult to play along with but the Tweed valley live version is ok. So D G and C and possible 7th in there somewhere too.
