Blues From Buckle
The Story
This song was inspired by stories of a hometown’s past, and it captures the feelings of pain and anger that many people still feel about thier hometown’s history. The song is a powerful reminder of how far we have come, and it is a stirring call to action for all of us to continue fighting for justice and equality.
The Music
A light feel to this track, if you need an acoustic country blues rag this will give you that authentic mood. A nod to Leadbelly and Big Bill Broonzy with a little Memphis Minnie as bottleneck slide old time guitar rolls around a shuffling washboard snare and broom handle bass.

Blues from Buckle Lyrics
I’ve heard tales from long ago
About the place I live
It don’t seem like the place I know
And it don’t seem to sweet
Who knows about the way these things go?
They say it’s changed but I don’t know…
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago
I’ve played games with different names
And names don’t change the flow
But that’s not how
this place here used to go
Who knows about the way these things go?
They say it’s changed but I don’t know…
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago
Bridge:
Maybe we can wakeup
Or maybe if we breakup
Maybe if we shake up
Shake off and go?
I’ve played games with different names
And names don’t change the flow
But that’s not how
this place here used to go
Who knows about the way these things go?
They say it’s changed but I don’t know…
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago
But the place called Buckle seems so long ago
