  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    The first of two releases recorded live with Joe Reyes at his home studio, December 2010 - March 2011. The 23 songs of this album and Shores of Erewhon were recorded spontaneously in groups of two or three with Hills on guitar and vocals and Joe on guitars. Some tracks have added instruments and many were single takes.

    "Wolverton’s got some potent, quiet music, and the recordings make you feel like they’re right there, reckoning the quirks of our heritage right alongside them. What it leaves out is as important as what it throws together but is gloriously free of twang or self-conscious neo-traditionalism. Contemplative, affectionate, warm and gently flawed, it’s roots music sans self-importance, and Hills Snyder’s songwriting is witty and doleful and full of unexpected touches; as in 'Guts,' a small song that sounds like deeply personal footnotes to the human epic. You know how in 'Tangled Up In Blue,' you can’t tell whether the time frame is 19th century or Now? Kinda like that."

lyrics

Michele and Arlene

Arlene can I ride on the back of your boyfriend's bike?
I like it when you come to my house and let me stay up all night

When I ride on your boyfriend's bike I feel so out of control
When I ride on your boyfriend's bike I feel like I'll never get old

Arlene will you come to my house make some food and let me watch TV?
I feel like I'm ten feet tall looking down on Monopoly

When I ride on your boyfriend's bike I feel so out of control
When I ride on your boyfriend's bike I feel like I'll never get old

Arlene when you ride away on the back of your boyfriend’s bike
I feel so happy for you and you that I know how what it’s like

When I ride on your boyfriend's bike I feel so out of control
When I ride on your boyfriend's bike I feel like I'll never get old

Lyrically, Wolverton is unanchored, very visual and moving equally through memory, story, and association, with dark streaks of tradition.
