lyrics

Trading time for money, bills to pay
We’re all waitin’ for the next big break in the USA
In a land of abundance and breaking news
It might seem like God’s own children have nothin’ to lose

CH: The American Dream is not what it seems
The American Dream - what does it mean?
A most wonderful scheme in the name of the law?
Or maybe this dream might be luck of the draw

Always someone else to blame when the going gets tough
Each time we think we’ve made it, its never enough
Our children grow up thinking dragons are real
That the only way to happyness is striking a deal

Few of us are native, most are misunderstood
Let’s lay down our weary guns and do something good
I’m dreaming of Freedom - how does it feel?
More than an empire of cars and wages, I want something real

about

Erin Inglish San Luis Obispo, California

Inglish's voice is both lush and raw, and her picking style on the five-string banjo is uniquely her own...expressive, sassy, dynamic.

It’s wonderful music, very easy to listen to and enjoyable because of its harmonies and the great skill of the musicians. I like the special combination of cello + bass.

A Wanderer I'll Stay
by Pharis & Jason Romero

The musicianship--it is ALIVE, PULSING and joyous, sometimes quietly, sometimes raucously, always with their hearts in it. Among all the gems, Old Paint's banjo is one of the most beautiful arrangements ever, and that Cocaine Blues really swings--great fiddling, Josh! lenapple
