Great Big Yam is all about the picnics and harvests. Rural music from rural people.
Great Big Yam is a collective and individual effort to preserve traditional American music and create songs within that tradition. From the traveling blues to the banjo breakdown to the jigs and reels native to Ireland to the African roots to folk protest songs.

Lyrics
Never you mind those troubling dreams, dear. Never will you see them again. Taken in stride, they don't hold power. Just what does is left to be seen. The bells were ringing down the alley and parishoners were going in. The bars weren't always closed on Sundays, people were always stretched this thin. The sheriff has you take off your gun belt, this was The Gun Belt, after all. We can't make bread, we don't worry about butter. And the dust storms are coming back again. Half across the world it's twice as hot now. That's hard to believe, but it's true. And one man's melting down his ploughshare, what'd you expect him to do? But that's there, and here's here and Here's To Oblivion. Serefe, we raise our glass. Never you mind those troubling dreams, dear. I don't think they're ever coming back. I took my love over the oceans, I took my love through the burning sands, I took my love to the edges of continents, you can always go home again. You can always go home again.
