about

From the 1996 "Hillbilly Moon Vol 2" album

lyrics

Don’t need road maps to tell me where to go
Don’t need postcards from people I should know
Don’t need lawyers to plead insanity
Take ‘em all away, they don’t mean a thing to me

Cause I don’t need nothing, I don’t need anyone
But you can find me at the river, where the still waters run

Don’t need memories of lovers I have lost
Don’t want pleasure, cause I can’t afford the cost
Don’t want lessons that I got no chance to learn
Take me to the river, I got a bridge I gotta burn

Don’t ask questions that I got no right to know
Don’t ask favours from people I still owe
Don’t ask why it’s got to be this way
Cause in this great big ocean, I’m the original castway

Singer-songwriter Cletis Carr knows a good yarn. Especially when paired with a good melody and some gritty slide guitar.

A careful student of the human condition, Carr's story-songs play out like mini-movies. Tales of joy, heartbreak, redemption, ordinary madness and everyday heroes are framed in a rich tapestry of acoustic steel-string guitar, dobro and lap slide.
