I have a German surname. I like beer. I also live ridiculously close to a local German Club. Though I've never been to Gernmany, I have been as far as the Northern hemisphere once.
Around July-August 2016 I spent close to a month in Nashville. TBH in many ways it was a poor investment - I could have spent the money on Bitcoin, for instance.
But I did get to hear first hand the absolute extent to which they take Country music. Let me tell ya folks, it's pretty full on.
But in general the quality of the musicians and local music scene is great and really varied.

I wrote this song around that time - just before I left tbh, but with country music vibes in mind. And then arranged it quite differently in my band - in a big production kinda style.
But I never recorded the solo, stanky version that I originally intended to do - so that's W6, again not technically an original composition, but definitely an original exploration of my electric guitar tone + vocals.

Thanks to Nick for some lyrics on this one!

That German club has very strong beers.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I got an old friend of mine.
She's been around a long, long time.
I got her back - and she's got mine
I don't wanna go, but it's my time.

And it's happening again
a thousand times, I've been here,
And a thousand more.
I don't know how and I don't know when
but I'm already dead -
dead and gone -
down river, downtown, down river, downtown.

I'm getting old before my time
She been ah rollin' down the line
Tell us a story in all your glory
you're breaking down
Meet me on the main street,
or on the edge of town.

When I reach my destination
When I'm running on and free
I got my baby by the doorstep -
Think she's good enough for me

I'm enamored by your dancin
I'm a fool for you

Baby girl when I was gone
down river, downtown.
