"Whitehouse Road" by Tyler Childers LITLR

[Blooby]

From our last practice. Brought in and sung w/rhythm guitar by Everett (EWC) with backing vocals by Lurker. Something a little different, but I do like this tune a lot.

The original is definitely worth checking out:

Whitehouse Road

Early in the morning when the sun does rise
Layin' in the bed with bloodshot eyes
Late in the evenin' when the sun sinks low
Well that's about time my rooster crows
I got women up and down this creek
And they keep me going and my engine clean
Run me ragged but I don't fret
Cause there ain't been one slow me down none yet

Get me drinking' that moonshine
Get me higher than the grocery bill
Take my troubles to the highwall
Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
We been sniffing that cocaine
Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads

I got people try to tell me, Red
Keep this livin' and you'll wind up dead
Cast your troubles on the Lord of Lord's
Or wind up laying on a coolin' board
But I got buddies up White House Road
And they keep me strutting when my feet hang low
Rotgut whiskey gonna ease my pain
'N all this runnin's gonna keep me sane

Get me drinking' that moonshine
Get me higher than the grocery bill
Take my troubles to the highwall
Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
We been sniffing that cocaine
Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads

When they lay me in the cold hard clay
Won't ya sing them hymns while the banjo plays
You can tell them ladies that they ought not frown
Cause there ain't been nothing ever held me down
Lawmen, women or a shallow grave
Same ol' blues just a different day

Get me drinking' that moonshine
Get me higher than the grocery bill
Take my troubles to the highwall
Throw 'em in the river and get your fill
We been sniffing that cocaine
Ain't nothin' better when the wind cuts cold
Lord it's a mighty hard livin'
But a damn good feelin' to run these roads
It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads
It's a damn good feelin' to run these roads

I like this, too! On the drum parts this is a real toe tapper and the spots without drums works really well! Is it slide guitar on the background...gives so good flavor to this. Superb job, gents! On my second listening...

[Jean Pierre]

reaaly good, congratulations guys

Is it slide guitar on the background...gives so good flavor to this. Superb job,

..............I have the same question as Redler... I'm intrigued by the sound that comes in from the very beginning 6 " in layers.

The original is definitely worth checking out:

..............All right... but your version really compares well

beautiful song

PS I hope you're not too affected by Hurricane Michael...I saw the pictures on TV news this morning.  and that the distance distance Gainesville to Tallahasseeis not so great..

[Farrell Jackson]

I like both the original and your version Blooby and gang. It really kicks up a notch when the drums come in. Cool guitar work with all the extra sounds. Some fine vocals and harmony as well. A fine practice session I'd say!

Is it slide guitar on the background?

If it were my slide guitar, it would sound more like cruelty to animals. It's me doing swells with a volume pedal through a modulated delay.

Thank you much for listening.
