Acoustic Appalachian Dysfunctional Folk Rock
AcousticAppalachianDysfunctionalFolkRock...from the dusty black coalfields of southwest Virginia, Foddershock is a collaboration between two long-time friends- one that writes strangely truthful and surreal lyrics about the often sordid details of the human condition, and one that puts it all together with a unique and perfectly twisted blend of American roots music. Songs about love, hate, life, death, drinkin, and killin. Sometimes tragic. Sometimes funny. Always interesting. Everything from guitar driven "Alt. Country" to "bluegrass" to a weird mix of banjos and walkie-talkies that can only be described as "southern banjer trance". Put John Prine, The Grateful Dead, Primus, and Camper Van Beethoven in a blender and you gotta a big ol glass of Foddershock. Drink up!

Lyrics
Credits: Written by A.K. Mullins; Arranged and performed by W.V. Hill Lyrics Out in the land of the red coyote Where the rain is a cool mirage Ol` Major Dan is eatin` peyote And prayin` to the cactus gods He ain`t seen another human being Since Jerry mowed the White House lawn And he ain`t heard Bob Dylan sing Since the helicopters left Saigon Up around the bend there`s a red dirt road Take a left at the beat up van Ol` hippie Jim is growin` smoke And livin` off the virgin land He ain`t seen another human being Since L.B.J. skipped town And he ain`t heard a white dove sing Since Bobby and the Doctor went down (C): Maybe they`ll get together Hippie Jim and Major Dan Maybe they`ll sing a protest song About a broken promised land Maybe they`ll be blood brothers And share the same disease Maybe they`ll light a big ol` pipe And talk about war and peace Down in the corner of the back of my mind Beneath the smoldering cells I try`ta flashback to a better time But my memory always fails I don`t feel like I use`ta feel So please leave me alone And I no longer have the will To find my way back home VARIATION (C): Maybe we`ll get together Hippie Jim, Major Dan, and me Maybe we`ll sing one last song About the way things use`ta be Maybe we`ll be blood brothers And share the same disease Maybe we`ll light a big ol`pipe And finally rest in peace
