You're a long way from home, boy You're a long way from home You're a long way from home, boy You're a long way from home Stationed in the wind Mountain streams begin So far from home Lord, I never felt better A bridge between the states Diners and tailgates Wave it high Sing your song Don't take too long Here we are We're not far From where we belong (Jimmy Treehouse!...Bobby Twoteeth...) Tackle on our backs, soon to get better Switch to the right tracks, gonna send a letter Wave it high Sing your song Don't take too long Here we are We're not far From where you belong

Time, I don't believe in you What they said ain't true Well, time Love, like a bird that flew Time caught up on you And love Blinded all I want to be So gone I can't see Crime, one you can't see 'Cause you're far from me Well, crime And love Like a bird that flew Time caught up on you And love Blinded all I want to be So gone I can't see

Feelin' high City lights flyin' by Soon enough we'll be gone To Cadillac Lake Lord, for heaven's sake We'll be fishin' before too long 'Been a long time to come So sweet in the settin' sun Fireflies flashin' bright It's gonna' be a great, great night Alright, babe... I woke with the sun Last night was so much fun I'm gonna' do it all over again 'Been a long time to come So sweet in the settin' sun Fireflies flashin' bright It's gonna' be a great, great night Alright, babe... Feelin' high City lights flyin' by Soon enough we'll be gone To Cadillac Lake Lord, for heaven's sake I'll be fishin' before too long 'Been a long time to come So sweet in the settin' sun Fireflies flashin' bright It's gonna' be a great, great night Alright, babe... Yeah, yeah Awe, for heaven's sakes (...Billy grab your fishin' pole...)

Hold me on down I see you comin' around Lightning lights the way See you coming around today I'll be on my knees I see you begging, please Well, the door slams in the end Can you bring her back down again Sing it on and run Hate to be alone Still you're flyin' on The storm's coming through town The rain's falling down Lightning lights the way Can't believe it's coming down today The birds are singing loud Well, your memory makes me proud I swear, I feel you in the wind Even though we were next to kin Bring it on and run Hate to be alone Still you fly on Bring it on and run I hate to be alone But still you're ridin' on Hold me on down I'll be coming around The lightning lights the way Let her come in... 'round today Bring it on and run Hate to be alone Still you're ridin' on Carry me on home Still you're flyin' on Fly on, fly on

Harmony Sand 04:50
I know a place For us to go Without a trace Buried by the snow It seems to me We can fly But we don't belong here Way up in the sky Follow your heart Into the sun Don't tear it apart Or come undone I say we're free Free and clear We can travel On for another year Seems to me We can fly Don't we belong here Way up in the sky Follow your heart Into the sun Tear it apart Come undone
6.
Stand Tall 04:53
Don't you fall Stand tall My love is strong And I'm gonna' help you to carry on Hold on again It won't be long, my friend In the shadows they are real Well, a heart they can steal Well, your mind they can break Well, your soul they will take Seen it all before Lord, better close the door Hold on again Won't be long, my friend Hold on again Won't be long, my friend
7.
I told you I can't be saved I'm already on my way Look around You'll be gone Hard to say Who's right or wrong Saddle up and ride on Turn around and get lost I know that you can't pay the cost Look around You'll be gone Hard to say Who's right or wrong Saddle up and ride on I told you I can't be saved I'm already on my way Look around You'll be gone Hard to say Who's right or wrong Saddle up and ride on I heard you say you Want your life back Every way you turn is Off track Look around You'll be gone Hard to say Who's right or wrong Saddle up and ride on
8.
Who's comin' around my door? Don't want you around no more Everyone's sayin' It's the end I couldn't hear the screams Don't you know what I mean Everyone's sayin' You're my friend If you say I was wrong Come with me All night long If you think I can tell I won't prevail I will be at your door I'm going down to the water I'm gonna' jump right in I'm gonna' help you wash away your sins I come from another time I fell down from the Great Freight Line What do you think about this mess we're in If you said I was wrong Come with me All night long If you think I can tell I won't prevail I will be at your door If you think I can see Come along with me If you think I can tell then I won't prevail I will be at your door If you think I was wrong Come with me all night long If you think I can tell I will prevail I will be at your door
9.
Angels Pass 03:17
Slowly sighed as the angels pass Don't you lose your grasp I know the days are long Fleeting glimpses of the rising sun Got my mind undone I know the days are long Don't pass by From the mountain high She's all alone Trying to get back home So you say she is from your town When she comin' down I hope it don't take long I saw her floatin' from across the room Couldn't leave too soon We'll play our favorite song Don't pass by From the mountain high She's all alone Trying to get back home
10.
Devil 05:34
Long time to come We'll see when you're gone How we were so wrong So long Been nine weeks Lord, will it get better Who can I call Should I send a letter Go home, go home You're not to blame To me it's all the same Devil's on the way Time for you to pay Nowhere to hide Nowhere to run Die by the pen Livin' by the gun Hold on, my friend It won't be long Well, the sign ahead Lord, what you think it read Carry on this way You won't see another day You're not to blame To me it's all the same Devil's on the way Time for you to pay Nowhere to hide Nowhere to run Die by the pen Livin' by the gun Hold on, my friend It won't be long Another sign ahead Lawd, what you think it read Carry on this way You won't see another day You're not to blame To me it's all the same Devil's on the way Time for you to pay Nowhere to hide Nowhere to run Die by the pen Livin' by the gun Hold on, my friend It won't be long
11.
The River 04:19
I've been Thinkin' You've been runnin' around far too long Keep on Sinkin' One more night and then you're gone It may Be late Too late to ever know So sad Today Watchin' the river flow So slow Night winds Shakin' This old house to the very core My heart breakin' Tryin' hard to find the door It may Be late Too late to ever know So sad Today Watchin' the river flow So slow
12.
Colorblind 03:28
I could see the colors everywhere So much I'd stop to stare Like the wind blowin' through the pine To tell you I'm colorblind I could see the colors everywhere Like the trees...in the air I could see the colors I could see the colors like no others I've been known To raise my tone I can tell you this My heart is bliss Well, I've been known To raise my tone I can say I never did you that way Never did you that way Well, I can see the colors everywhere So many I'd stop and stare Like the wind blowin' through the pines Just to tell you I'm so colorblind I could see the colors in the trees In the fountains Through all the memories Brothers and sisters That have gone In the past Telling (you and) me We're ever gonna' last Well, I've been known To raise my tone I can say I never did you that way Well, I've been known To raise my tone I can say I never did you that way Never did you that way

about

KENNY TUDRICK
KT

This Michigan songwriter and multi-instrumentalist has done a lot in little time. He drummed with The Detroit Cobras and King Tuff, backed Rodriguez, played guitar and drums at times with The Go, and fronted popular Detroit combos—all while tussling with his own addictions. Then he quit everything and in early 2012 wrote and recorded this solo debut: a double-album stunner so rich with restraint and earned wisdom that there isn’t a song here that Steve Earle or Chris Robinson wouldn’t have been ecstatic to write. Tudrick distills the essence of classic Laurel Canyon—Graham Nash, Neil Young, and The Band’s brown album—into spine-tinglers that tell of a life filled with the small redemptions that could’ve only been written after one overcomes a life-threatening war with himself. Tudrick handles the instrumentation here too, with occasional low-key musical support from Detroit stars such as Patti Smith’s guitarist son, Jackson. The songs ache (“Lightening Lights the Way,” "Bird That Flew”), lift (“Angel’s Pass”), rock (“Can’t Be Saved”), mellow out (“Moonshine”), and drone (“Colorblind”). One of 2012’s best.
