Been waiting for you at the hideaway Been waiting for you but you didn't say that you'd never show I'm learning more from what you don't say You're always telling me it's OK but you never show Not even Harry Houdini could get out of the things you do The hurting's all over. I'm over running back to you You like to say we make a good team But now your stuck inside an old dream ´cause you never show Can't hold a grudge if I don't disagree It's just the way you try to be free and you never show Not even Harry Houdini could get out of the things you do The hurting's all over. I'm over running back to you Can't stand a good man when he's wearing dollar signs in his eyes Can't get used to promises if they never arrive

Warm and gathered cold December night They went out to play in the new fallen white Making fallen angels all over the grounds Didn’t feel any cold with the snow coming down She rolled again, like the sea He held it in, a fleeting hope for eternity Midnight arrived, the party was done They hadn’t even begun to have enough fun She opened up a window, let him sneak in her room Gave their burning bodies to the light of the moon She rolled again, like the sea He held it in, he didn’t want to be phony This unexpected kind of love can’t survive But she said, it’s just a matter of time When tick tackles tock in the hay They don't beat together much more than a day But some people say It’s better left that way. April morning, half asleep in his bed Thinking he’d dreamt the footsteps there by his head When a smell of honeysuckle, summer perfume Woke him to find her silhouette right there in his room

Ya ever been caught just walking along Minding your manners and singing your song When out from the bushy weeds Jumps Honest John and his foxy deeds His little slave's got a chilling stare Wrapped in lawyers and her serpent hair Says: Man, you're gonna be shown But I couldn't respond. I was turned to stone Please, I got to call I can't believe that this is even happening at all Some folks won't get ahead Till they've taken your butter for their fresh-baked bread The witch's garden's got a perfect rose She's got a perfect cat. She's got a perfect nose And she haunts all the kids a while With her perfect poison and her hideous smile Her worthy son's into collecting birds 's got the prettiest swan in the whole wide world And he keeps her under a veil So the neighbors won't see her. In her grief, she wails: Please, I got to see I can't believe that this is really happening to me Some folks won't mean a thing Till they got your fingers tied upon their strings Front page reads: Breakout at the city zoo Big gorilla coming into my room The badge on his collar shines And he holds my face to it as he pulls the blinds Big Bill's smallest is a 44 He likes to talk about guns. He likes to think about war And the living dead don't bug him no more Down deep in their cages no one hears 'em roar Please pass me the key I can't believe how hard it's come to be to be free Some folks won't stop at all Till they got your number written on their wall

At The 89 04:48
We all need a place where to feel wanted We all need some friends though the thick and the thin The best of times Don’t judge the walls around your pride And that’s the way it is here at the 89 Make yourself welcome, hang your hat and stay Hey, why don't you get out your guitar and play We’ll all sing along That's if you don’t fuck up the song And that’s the way it is here at the 89 Running 'round the fire like the three-blind mice Making games of the world and paying the price I wouldn’t change a single thing These are the best of times, they're really the best of times And that’s the way it is here at the 89 Never had much money for most of the year Just enough for some smoke and a handful of beer And a ticket for the show Where the tiny pages say hello And that’s the way it is here at the 89 Sweet Sister Jean, she was my queen Our quiet kingdom never made the scene But we binged for days on laughs And we both got good at being bad And that’s the way it is here at the 89 Running 'round the fire like... Those days are now just a distant memory Fading candles I can barely see And though I'm still having lots of fun The magic of the first time’s gone And that’s the way it was back at the 89 Running 'round the fire like...

We got cold mashed potatoes All kinds of goodies that are going bad We got cold mashed potatoes A rotten feeling when I used to be glad We got cold mashed potatoes Where's the butter and the gravy gone We got cold mashed potatoes The hidden treasure's scattered over the lawn We got cheap tricks under the hat I bet you didn't know you'd like it like that We got red, ripe tomatoes All kinds of goodies hanging on the vine We got red, ripe tomatoes A rosy feeling when I savor the wine We got red, ripe tomatoes We got the dipping and the saucy fun We got red, ripe tomatoes All kinds of goodies growing under the sun We got great gifts right on the mat I bet you didn't know you'd like it like that We got four miles to Mobile Wheels rolling with the windows down We got three miles to Mobile Before you know it we'll be downtown We got two miles to Mobile My will is willing and the weather's fine We got one mile to Mobile I'm putting everything I've got on the line We got sundown beyond the cacti Bet you didn't know you'd like it like that

Feel like half-a-dozen lifetimes since I felt so very high Aurora borealis is ripping through the sky And we're all going 'round, going 'round to the hoedown Gonna see my lil' Daisy, she promised that she'd be in town My sweetheart and my two left feet dancing through the night Big ole Deke MacOwpie comes in looking for a fight Now ole Deke's got a brain, but his brain's insane Pour on down Big Dipper and wash my fun on down the drain Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight Fist Fight Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight Fist Fight If your man enough to know how to fight and run away then you'd better make a change of plans 'cause Deke is on his way Now me and lil' Daisy, thinking life is dear We ducked on out the back door and stood out in the clear But ole Deke tracked us down, just like a trained bloodhound Snorting like an angry bull, his eyes were burning red and round Now wait here just a minute, Deke. This all seems so absurd His countenance showed no effect, he hadn't heard a word All the things that I said went bouncing off that big forehead That's when he started swinging and I don't remember what came next. Fight Fight Fight... I woke up smelling nothing and the sun it hurt my eyes Least I had my lil' Daisy sitting by my side 'Cause there's a whole lotta Deke's in the world everyday and I'm doing everything I can to try and stay away Next time he won't talk some sense or I can't crack a smile Maybe I'll throw ole Deke a bone and let him chew on it a while Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight Fist Fight Fight, Fight, Fight, Fight Fist Fight If your man enough to know how to fight and run away then you'd better make a change of plans 'cause BIG DEKE'S ON HIS WAY

Recorded on April 3, 2011 at Grabasonic Studios - Bering

credits

released July 27, 2011

Still River se formó a principios de 2011. El norteamericano Dan Cabanela (guitarra rítmica, voz), Txema Solano (bajo, coros), Isi Redondo (batería – también de Travellin’ Brothers), y Juan Gumuzio (guitarra solista, coros) formaron el cuarteto original. En 2013 se une al grupo Isra Redondo (piano, órgano y coros) y en 2014. La grabación de su segundo disco será en los Garate Studios de Andoain, que se hará a finales de junio 2015.

Con su directo potente, han llegado a compartir escenario con algunos músicos de reconocimiento internacional, como son Francisco Simón (guitarrista – Red House), Antonio Serrano (armonicista – Paco de Lucia) y Marcos Coll (armonicista – Hohner Masters of Harmonica, Berlin Monday Jelly Roll Session, Los Reyes del KO).

La banda toca tanto en formato eléctrico como en acústico, donde introducen el uso de banjo, mandolina, contrabajo, guitarras acústicas, y percusiones varias.

“Still River, por su parte, se marcan una sabrosa demo grabada en Berango, pero que podría haberse registrado en Macon, oigan. Pura dinamita con ecos a Little Feat y unos muy presentes Allman Brothers (tremendas «Just A Matter Of Time», «Please Pass Me The Key» y «Four Miles To Mobile»), con guitarras lujuriosas, voces en su punto justo y una concepción fresca del mejor rock sureño.” - Mr. Demo, RUTA 66 (Abril 2012)

“Still River reproducen con fidelidad el libro de estilo del rock de raíces estadounidense...se desenvuelven como peces en el agua dentro de este sonido. Canciones elegantes de formas totalmente clásicas, que crean una atmósfera de sabor añejo.” - José Miguel Cáceres, ROCK ESTATAL (Febrero 2012)

“El quinteto bilbaíno...demostrando a las claras que beben de los mejores. Por su música hay ecos de Bob Dylan, Tom Petty y en especial de Neil Young o los Allman Brothers. Rock americano en estado puro pero siempre con un toque de blues o country. Fieles al estilo, Still River tienen canciones elegantes y clásicas tocadas de forma magistral en un muy buen concierto...” - Bilsonico, CONCIERTOS ULTRASONICOS (Febrero 2015)
