INISFREE
Lyrics adapted from William Butler Yeats, "The Lake Isle of Inisfree"

I will arise and go now, to Inisfree
And a cabin build of clay and wattles made
Bean-rows will I have there, and a hive for the honeybee
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow
From the vales of the morning to where the cricket sings
Midnight’s all a glimmer, noon’s a purple glow
And evening full of the linnet’s wings

I will arise and go now, for always, night and day
I hear lake-water lapping at the shore
While I stand in the roadway, or on the pavement gray
I hear it in my heart’s deep core

I will arise and go now, go to Inisfree
And a cabin build of clay and wattles made
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honeybee
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

J.T.
by Steve Earle & The Dukes

supported by 4 fans who also own “Inisfree”

The best I've heard from Steve Earle in a while. The songs have a subtler, earthier tone, tastefully rendered in authentic sounding country/blues/bluegrass stylings. 'J.T' reminds of earlier records like 'Feel Alright' or 'Train a Comin'. Deep grief, love and compassion is felt on the final track, the only composition from Steve, seemingly written for his son. The rest, composed by JT, do confirm what a great songwriter he really was. tideracer
