Victory Bells (The Other Favorites, Reina del Cid, & Toni Lindgren | Original)

One of my personal favorite originals, and a perfect fit for this quartet – Reina provided harmony vocals on the studio take, and Toni jumped in on slide for a live version on our 2022 US tour. Also, yes, I have cleaned up my mustache since this was recorded. Support us! Restitution: is that the poor man’s salvation? Assuming there’s enough to go around Consternation from our forebears means nothing Those people ran our country to the ground Crickets on the porch, cattails in the harbor swinging Whispers from the north: victory bells in a courtyard ringing Can I reach you with the language of my father When my own mother tongue is clearly tied? Can I touch you? I’m just a ripple in the water I won’t have left a mark when you are dry Rich men on TV, bills spread out on the kitchen table Darling, look at me – you still wink like a young Clark Gablе Pastures drying out; the bounty of our harvest thinning Wе can go without; our parents sure knew harder living Gear used: Carson&guitar: 2013 Martin 000-17SM Josh&guitar: 2022 D&Excel Josh Turner Tammany Toni&guitar: 2007 MIM Telecaster Reina&bass: MIM Jazz Bass Audio recorder: Zoom H6
