OMG I just realized… this has always been one of my most favorite JMT songs… and it comes from one of my most favorite JMT albums(FITW 1976)… the VERY first JMT album I ever owned! An album that was recorded over 40 years ago! I remember when JMT offered it For Sale from the stage of Montana Mining Company in Midland, Texas… and I jumped to buy it! OMG… My dear, dear old friend… has it really… has it really been 40 years? OMG

The years that simply melt away… like mascara in the rain.”
Damn… what great words. JMT words.
Words that paint a picture… on the canvas of my spirit. `

The stormy weather these last few days have had me hurting; yesterday was pretty bad… last night worse; this morning bad… very bad. I see JMT sent me a note that he had a new album on Alonetone; I decided to take my pain meds and listen to JMT. At the first sound of Jimmy’s new album… I smiled; my body still hurts, but my spirit has found respite. Thanks, old friend. Thanks, for all the years of respite you have given me.
I love it. I miss your deliverance.
Nice. I like it.
Great new batch of songs, JMT. Sounds like you’ve turned a corner. All the exquisite choral harmonies are still there.
I really like Burden of Sanity James!

I think this is good, but it’s more folk than country, but the most popular country is rock.

This immediately puts me in a mythical meadow with fairies and crickets and lightning bugs at dusk…
This is such a solid track it could go a dozen ways.
Also, thank you for your comment. I had a 7th line clear up until my final mix when I realized how useless it was…your response verifies my thot. The song was start to finish this afternoon.Thanks again.

Perfect for your voice. “aging Silverado…” “so, I don’t say a word, my order is heard.”
So clean! Really rocks. Sounds like your first language is American English.
So clean. Very interesting…I’m missing some of the words tho. What country are you from?
I like how you fit your voice and sentiment into this barren acoustic landscape.
Love the rawness of the tracks and the
mix. Just wish the vocal was out a bit more.
I love the chord move you do at the end of line three in the verse. The lyric grabs me from, That she hopes will be the very one
That you decide to wear.“ Because of you voice you use and the sounds it says the object of their desire/affections is David Bowie.My favorite line, among many is, And Blazey’s left her homework on the train.” And, It’s never crossed their minds that you might fail.“
Really gets the raw sadness. But by the time they tell you it’s over it’s most likely been over for some time…
My friend, George Sluizer was making a film with River Phoenix and asked me to submit some music to possibly be used in the movie. He didn’t end up sing this but he did use four other of my submissions.
WiW! I have had
it for many years but it never left my desk side. It’s been the guitar I reach for when I am working at my bedroom/office computer. Never even thought about recording with it.
