Hi friends. Long time no see. We have started the process of making a new record. Some of it falls right into place, expectations of a new FOLSOM record will be met. Some of it is completely different. A funny thing happens when your band stops touring and recording to raise families, focus on careers and finish school. Many of the songs that I wrote that would have been a bridge between where we were at when we dropped Hammer Lane and now, will never see the light of day. I am excited to finally get these songs out of my head and into the world. So far we have an intro and 2-3 songs finished. I have the rest of the songs written, just need to get them arranged with the boys. I am going to start posting all kinds of content. Email me at folsomhlc@hotmail.com if you are interested in booking us, pressing vinyl, want an interview, want to criticize, encourage, etc.
Here are the lyrics to a new one.
THE GREAT BASIN
Under the glow of the Great Basin starlight tonight
Planning to take control of this train wreck I call life
How many hours can I toil a week
How much more can I give
I lay awake with a burdened soul
Just screaming to be free
Good intentions won't pay the bills
Or keep her bed warm
Troubled hearts start growing apart
Distant cold and hard
Constellations cut thru the dark
The heavens torment me
Uneducated don't know their names
But I feel them mocking me
Coyotes cry off in the distance
Their lonely song resonates with me
How can hearts once filled with love
Break apart so easily
Coyotes cry off in the distance
Their lonely song resonates with me
How can hearts once filled with love
Break apart so easily
A thousand men have died out here
Their bones lost in the earth
I know their is knowledge in a land this wild
But I'm to ignorant to get it learned
