jail break w 3 wild & crazy guys...

steve april vocal, guitar (melody, lyrics)
Bryon violin, dog fx
Mark harmonies, piano, bass, percussion,

the justice system needs reform, there are people in jail for years due to marijuana possession...

wrote this living in the country years ago, produced more recently
Run Highway Run

I can hear her callin' my name, she's standin' on the porch
lookin' down that lonesome road tonight,
the warden's called his men, dogs are closin' in , (fx)
that 5 to 10 I'm doin', it's a frame, a frame.

Rn highway run, roll river roll, take me back to my baby,
run highway run, roll river roll...

highway 1 ain't a bad road, the river is my guide
to that little house by the pond,
every white line a friend of mine,
let em run, let em run...

repeat chorus
x
Song Comments

Cup 'A Tea
soulful, evocative ditty, feat. a violin, and a dog fx, about a jailbreak from a pestilential place and a run down the highway back to "the house by the pond," in the American grain, as they say, who knows how many unjustly imprisoned, for petty infractions while the real crooks are "free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise..." (to paraphrase Dylan)

What the Folk!
Good time vibe, and funny with FX and dogs violin and some good old time hoe down groove. yup folks these guys went way back to pull out some magic and got their fiddles, piano, plunking and singing , its some kinda fun and kick up yer feet and drank a jog of rot gut to take away the pain of being out of a job, you know, cause of COVID. run highway run brings back memories of my dads hank williams tunes he use to listen too. yesir


5 SONGS A DAY
holy smoke, a prison break song, w dogs and po-lice cars, and a country road car chase, w a violin and catchy chorus, mass incarcerations every day, it's happenin', believe it, kudos...


LEGENDARY MUSIC
Steve is in his element here with an old fashioned good time fun-lovin' toe-tapper definitely cut in his comfort key. I love the swing and swagger in his vocals. Love too that he wrote the lyrics years ago and pulled them out of the archives - a gem waiting in the wings for the right time so to speak and up-produced the song with his talented muso partners on the run, Bryon and Mark, adding the sauce to the melody. I wanna jump in the car for the ride wherever it’s goin' ... a great vibe in the spirit of the American grain that you won’t be able to get out of your head - should land you in GK territory, Steve.
