lyrics

MOONSHINE (written by Sally Barker & Vicki Genfan)

VS 1: MOONSHINE RUNNERS USED TO GRACE THESE ROADS WHISKEY TRIPPERS, RUNNING FROM THE LAW
ON THE BACK ROADS OF THE APPALACHIAN HILLS HE COULD SPIN A 180 TO ESCAPE THE REVENUERS

VS 2: RUNNING WHITE LIGHTENING THAT HIS DADDY MADE JUNIOR JOHNSON IN HIS COUPE FLATHEAD V8
HE COULD DRIVE BLINDFOLD THROUGH THE ROLLING HILLS HE KNEW THOSE ROADS LIKE THE BACK OF HIS HAND

CH: YOU GAVE ME MOONSHINE, MOONSHINE x 2 IM OUT OF MY MIND, MY MIND YOU GAVE ME MOONSHINE, MOONSHINE NOW I'M HAVING A GOOD TIME, GOOD TIME COS YOU GAVE ME MOONSHINE, MOONSHINE

VS 3: ON THE WEEKENDS OUT IN THE OPEN FIELDS
FORDS AND CHEVIES ON A HOME MADE TRACK
DUELLING DRIVERS – WHO WOULD BE THE KING?
CROWDS WOULD COME AND HISTORY IS BORN CHORUS

Middle 8: ROLLING HILLS GREEN FIELDS OF CORN GOOD OLD BOYS IN THE EVERYTHING STORE STEAMY DAYS SOUTHERN DRAWL TOBACCO AT MY DOOR

WELL YOU GAVE ME MOONSHINE, MOONSHINE x 4

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 7 fans who also own “Moonshine”

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

Serpent's Tears
by Richard Thompson

supported by 7 fans who also own “Moonshine”

There's a similarity in song writing between Richard Thompson and Hugh Cornwell which maybe isn't surprising as they went to the same school at the same time, although Thompson is older. Due to Thompson's association with John French of Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band I searched for his work on the Bandcamp app. French, Thompson and Cornwell all have albums on the app which I'm very pleased about. Only Thompson has released contemporary albums, much to his credit. yellowcakeuf6

Has anyone else noticed that the last few seconds of Abandoned Love are scrambled??? Even when you play it on Bandcamp, it's messed up. Great album, but needs fixed! Justa Lint
