Sweet and Lowdown
Am I tired of you, my darling?
You ask me, much to my surprise
You say the springtime was a longtime
Back when I first took your hand
We may be softer in the middle
And the party lights go down at 10PM
But every inch of you, girl, is my hometown
And you still make me, sweet and lowdown
Some men lose their fire
When the nights grow short and the days grow long
And even their lip service ain’t what it used to be
They get in the elevator but they won’t go down
We may feel the cold creep in to freeze us
And warming up might start with a heating pad
But every inch of you, girl, is my hometown
And I still long to be sweet and lowdown
And if I could, live this life over
I’d thank that young man that I was
For finding your sweet face
For his impeccable taste
And for building us a fire that burns so bright
So am I tired of you, my darling?
See the answer here in my eyes
And feel everything these old hands have learned
About holding you and loving you up right
So don’t you badmouth my sweet hometown
Come on girl let’s get sweet and lowdown
No don’t badmouth my sweet hometown
After all these years you're still sweet and lowdown

Upstate Revisited
by The Kintners
I love the Kintners--and if you're looking for some great acoustic songs stripped down to their lovely core...look no further. Check out "John Brown"!

Joe Pernice can write a lush pop tune like nobody's business but I love the sparse and fragile recordings on "Richard."They highlight his beautiful voice and some lovely delicate guitar work.
go to album
Whip smart, slick, dark (but not hopeless to my ear) and gorgeously rendered. A stunning piece of work from an artist worth watching.
