COWBOYS AND INDIANS (John A Spittles) Fly the plane into the west they say the time is now Cowboys and Indians are gunna make the sound Well i cant see in front of me cant stand up from falling down But i believe in truth and a certain sound Killer Ken made the call and he told me how Blazin Brad and Mister Hall are gunna lay it down We turned em up it turned us on , we drove to the river town We made em move their feet with that certain sound Twist and shout into the night and play it loud and proud I´ll sing my song and make that sound thats gunna shake em down There was a kiss from Emily that drove and spun me round She said we made her more with that certain sound

THE COUNTRY MILE (John A Spittles) I´ve found gold in your morning smile with arms as long as a country mile never wanted more then to see you smile Shut the door and stick around for a while And riding in your car i feel like I could be with you night and day Sleeping in your bed and knowing that you feel the same way I´ve been wrong and i know i´ve lied I was so alone and downright tired But now i feel it´s become my time to show you gold and watch it shine Riding in her car i feel like I could be with her night and day Sleeping in her bed and knowing that she feels the same way And as i ride along New South Head Road My taxi drivers moving way too slow A curve in the road and the curve in your smile Stick around for a while you´ll get a love thats longer than a country mile Little red car in the Summertime Top down hair in my eyes She´s got the wheel her foots thru the floor She drives too fast but i dont drive at all! Riding in that car i feel like I could be with here night and day Sleeping in her bed and knowing That she feels the same way As i ride along New South Head road My taxi driver´s moving way too slow Curve in the road and the curve in her smile Stick around for a while you´ll get a love that´s longer than a country mile

The Letter 02:23
Johnny Casino having a crack at one of his favorite songs from The Box Tops ´the letter´ ¨ ït´s a song that has been with me from as far back as i can remember, it was either on the radio at home or in the car through out my childhood and is still something i listen to at home on the stereo¨

Drunk and Tired is written by my old buddy James McCann and was originally performed by his great bands The Dirty Low and The Lowdorardos , if you can get ya hands on any of James´s Music be sure and do so as you will not be disappointed. This version features a GREAT solo by one of my favorite Guitar players Brad Shepherd, check it out it´s a corker!!

New Clothes old shoes (John A Spittles) I waited to hear , her words in my ear And what i wanted to know was were she´d like to go From Smith st , Fitzroy we did go That yellow cab did take us to her door A lady called George, a Ballroom no more We laughed and drunk tea and Mrs Parton sang in key We kissed till the sun called me home My new clothes old shoes thru her door My new clothes old shoes thru her door My new clothes old shoes thru her door

about

Cuando el grandon Johnny Casino esta prácticamente aterrizando en España, llega este disco de cinco temas en donde los Secrets se convierten en una padilla de amigos a los que les gusta la música, recuperando un tema de su ultimo disco “New Clothes, Old Shoes” abren con ese bonito “Cowboys and Indians” rezumando pop entre una amalgama de sonidos llenos de raíces, (creo que ahora lo llaman americana), los cuatro temas restantes son el atractivo de este ep digital con temas nuevos y la versión alternativa en donde el Hoodoo Brad Shephern Guru le da un particular toque al tema con el banjo, sonando campestres y relajados, sensación que desaparece al enfrentarse sin miramientos con el clásico de la primera banda de Alex Chilton en donde Ken Steedman a la guitarras da su particular enfoque a ese “The Letter”, de nuevo vuelven a lo mas básico de la cultura americana con “Drunk and Tired” pero sonando a rock and roll como lo entendieron en su dia Dylan, de nuevo Brad se muestra entregado en las guitarras y el órgano hammond de Mike Burham suena a verdad, sin trampas, sin fuegos de artificio mostrando a una banda de rock en estado de gracia y cerrando esta entrega un tema acústico con el ex-Asteroid B-612 mostrándose tal cual, guitarra y voz sin mas de nuevo en el tema “New Clothes and Shoes”, para incondicionales de John A Spittles, una joya de disco sin duda.
