I did what I could
Until I couldn’t anymore
When I fell flat
I fell flat on the floor
You gave what you had
Until you couldn’t anymore
I think that’s the reason most people are poor
So lay me down
Don’t let me free
Because when all went to Hell
You depended on me
And I failed
These walls were blank
We had nothing to do
I found an old needle
And I gave us tattoos
I got your name
You got mine
So that ring on your finger ain’t the only thing on you for life
So lay me down
Don’t let me free
Because when all went to Hell
You depended on me
And I failed
So lay me down
Don’t let me free
Because when all went to Hell
You depended on me
And I failed

The flac version of this sounds great in my truck... not a crunch, clip or boom to be heard. That, in itself, gets this major points.
This is a lovely combination of early Floyd, U2 and a few San Francisco bands from the '60s with a heavy dose of Helmet tossed in. It's definitely best of breed when it comes to modern psych stuff. Even without a Hammond B3, it gets an easy A+... rick-taylor
A vibrant vision of "Central Americana" from the Costa Rica-based artist, blending heartland devotionals with playful Tropicália grooves. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 27, 2022
The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'.
Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
