To the right of psychedlic folk and the left of four-square gospel. We are a family string band with ideas!
The Greatful Stones Family String Band is a Musical Act. By that, we mean a group of musicians bound by blood, marriage and heart whose main musical goal is to entertain and delight an audience. We are not "traditional", but we are steeped in a tradition of sincere application of our talents to the music. Our repertoire runs the gamut from gospel to old timey, from bluegrass to traditional country, from western to Irish, from folk to pop. We even do Brahms' Hungarian Dances. If we like it, we play it; if we don't, we don't.

Lyrics
Mother always said, to stay away from her. When she walks by the dogs all cry, the cats they just purr. She's the Voodoo Queen Marie, way up from New Orleans. Here she comes lookin' like the universe was hers. chorus: Voodoo Queen Marie, she ran the town of New Orleans, ran it since her middle teens, like her favorite toy. Well that's just fine because, that's just what it was. There ain't nobody and there ain't no laws, made for Queen Marie. Does she have the power? Don't the men all stare? Rainbow skirt, rainbow clothes, long black shining hair. Hangin' to her hips, she's got cherry colored lips, other women walk on earth but this one sails through the air. chorus- Watch that woman shake. She's dancin' with a snake. Dancin', dancin' all night long, to the moon-lit, candle-lit voodoo lake. Dressed in flamin' red, she's dancin' with the Grateful Dead. Dancin', dancin' all night long, with a red rose over head. chorus- Folks tell fabulous lies They say the green light shines from her eyes Say she's the cat in disguise Say there's horns on her head Say she's married as well It's said she married the devil in hell Turned him into a big black snake And keeps him under her bed chorus- The voodoos know her name. They pass it down fromm hand to hand. You can search all over this land and never hear a word that's said. But if you know where to look and it won't be found in anyones' book. The voodoos and the the lords all say, Queen Marie's not dead. chorus-
