  • Record/Vinyl + Digital Album

    So much love from the Buster Bones team has gone into this record. Starting with the magical illustrations of Brian Kesinger and the truly mind warping creative skills of artisan Matt Scott of Rasputin's Marionettes infamy. The graphic design cohesion par exellence is by Mark Berry and really seals it. All this has been brought together by the otherworldly forces of the late Bob Self & the ongoing forces of Baby Tattoo Publishing. I was brought on to supply music & it was one of the most enjoyable projects I've been lucky enough to work on.

    You've got here a beautiful 7" vinyl record housed in a picture sleeve with none other than our dear Buster adorned adorably all over. A double sided insert AND a fully illustrated inner sleeve! So much Buster you just might bust!

about

This was the first song Buster brought out of me. I sat with my banjo & twisted one string a bit flat. I felt the banjo's sympathetic vibrations and I knew I was headed in the right direction. The chords came quick & the words rolled out. I called on the aid of my trusty upright bass & a deep echo of sound suddenly appeared. My pals, Benny Brydern on violin & Gareth Price on washboard, jumped aboard and before I knew it, we had a song!

lyrics

It’s a twisted bit of backwoods rhythm
Hear the ghosts & go get with ‘em
These strings are cut from electric wire
Six feet down & rising
Yesterday has all the feeling
Here today has got you reeling
Walk the roads like a broken soul
Six feet down & rising

Friends go by but they can’t see me
Love is lost in my memory
Where have all the flowers gone?
Six Feet Down & rising
Time is just way too fickle
The minutes pull, the hours trickle
Look into my hallow eyes
Six Feet Down & Rising

There’s a lot of life in this dead thing yet
Hold the line and dress the fret
Dip your shoes in trophy bronze
Earn that ground you walk on
Mama knows you ain’t no square
Pull some magic from out of thin air

Picking out dirt from every suture
Got the strength to change my future
I’m the one I want to be
Six feet down & rising
The end is just a new beginning
My grin is full of what I’m winning
Walk the road & join with me
Six feet down & rising
Six feet down & rising
Six feet down & rising
