A dark ballad about two lovers on the run from the law. Narrative and haunting, this song is a great example of Russell's storytelling prowess. |

River Of Time was recorded in January of 2002, remixed in May and now finds it's way to MP3.com as a "new" WR demo, courtesy of Cats Up The Street Music. Here again, Woody examines one of his favorite topics -time- and lays out a genuinely beautiful, mid-tempo tune with a subtle blend of bluegrass, Celtic and pure "thinking man's Americana. A river, the metaphor for the passing of time as, "We tumble through this current." Sweet resonator guitar picking, lush vocal harmonies and Woody's trademark cinematic lyrical work adds up to a must listen. Give it a spin. |

A demo recorded in January of 2002. Written immediately after 9-11, the narrative, set to a churning backbeat (ala Dan Frank's buoyant drum groove) revolves around the patrons of a roadside diner. The scene unfolds as they watch the news in horror and disbelief while reflecting about their own lives, as we all did on that violent day in American history. A lyrically masterful tale in which Russell's word play serves as a simple reminder to take note of what's truly important in "our lives and numbered days". Filled with his critically praised cinematic imagery, it is easily one of WR's finest songs to date. |
