The Steeldrivers - Hear The Willow Cry (Official Audio)

Folllow The SteelDrivers:

[elizabethbekker]

I was 4 years old when this album came out. My family was on a vacation in Blue Ridge, Georgia. We stumbled into Tree Frog music shop. My dad always buys an album on every vacation we go on. He asked the man at the counter, the man who’s always there every time we go who’s missing a tooth, what his recommendation was. He said “there’s these new guys. They just released an album. It’s gold.” That was the summer of 2008 and this was that album. My parents quickly became obsessed. They both grew up in many locations around the Eastern Seaboard but I think this music felt like home. They played this music every time we were in the car, and especially on vacations. It was the music of leisure and traveling. Whether we were in the Smokies, the Rockies, or anywhere in between, Steeldrivers was playing. When Reckless came out, the same thing happened. I was just a little girl from a hick town in Florida who had an obsession with the soulful, mournful sound of the strings and Chris’ voice. I’m nearly 17 now. I’m applying to colleges, taking AP classes, studying German, organizing school club meetings…It feels like I’ve changed so much from that starry eyed little girl stumbling into a music store in her pink bucket had and sketchers sandals. But this music will never change. I will always come back to it. And listening to it now, remembering all the experiences I’ve had listening to it in the past 12 years or so, I understand now, that wherever I end up in the world, this music will always feel like home.

[jaymewhitehall]

One of the most moving and beautiful murder ballads ever written. The perfect storm of string talent and vocal talent colliding inside of some wonderful musical super collider

Won't you bury me beneath the tree
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Let the fog lay low on the mountain high
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Ain't no redemption for the thing that I have done
The devil owns you once the bullets left your gun
All I can think of with this rope around my neck
Is I'd be much obliged if you grant me one request
Won't you bury me, beneath the tree
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Let the fog lay low, on the mountain high
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
My soul turned black as coal
When I walked the streets at night
'Cause in my heart I knew that something wasn't right
And I went crazy when I found her with that man
But I felt better once the blood was on my hands
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Let the fog lay low on the mountain high
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Won't you bury me beneath the tree
Where my family lies, where my family lies'
Let the fog lay low on the mountain high
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry
Hear the willow cry, hear the willow cry

I love the Steel Drivers, especially Where the rainbows never end. I didn't know Chris Stapleton until then. Chris is awesome! A good old Kentucky man!

If I can't make it to Union springs, burry me up stream from the 59 bridge, its a few bends up river, but that is one of the biggest willows I have ever seen.
