In Clover: Preview of MCR 5.8.13

musiccityroots:

As fans of our show know so well, Nashville’s Belmont University has an impressive track record of fostering musical relationships, even ones made off campus.

And thus it was that Margo Price and Jeremy Ivey, “crashing” a Belmont neighborhood party, met one another and began a life together. The now-married couple has tried a variety of musical endeavors, together and apart, with shuffling people names and styles. But something settled when the idea of Buffalo Clover took root. With a nice buzz and a Kickstarter cruising into its final days, this exciting band visit the Loveless Barn this week, for an opening slot that will sound utterly perfect on Hippie Radio.

And after that, almost everything’s going to be coming up Clover, in that two of the three other bands set for Wednesday are friends and colleagues of the Buffalo gang. And I’ll tell you about them in a second. But there’s also a gentleman visiting from another planet altogether who merits more than a passing mention.

So… we recently put out a Kickstarter project to help fund our upcoming record, TEST YOUR LOVE.   We opted out of resigning our record contract after a year so we were in debt to our old label by three thousand dollars before we even started the recording process.

I know what you’re thinking, “Why even put out a record if you’re in debt? Why not just quit playing music and move to India to study transcendental meditation?   Why not start a farm somewhere in West Virginia and raise goats?”  Well, believe me, all that is still on the table.  That’s where our fans come in.  Please share our video, and pre-order the album at the link below.  We appreciate your love and support!

Pariah Lillies

You been cast out, honey it ain’t that bad/ Sit down beside me and get it off your chest

You’ve been beat up, robbed of what you had/ I can’t stand to see you so down and depressed

Old Jedediah is stumbling on his words/ It seems he only borrows what he can’t give back

For what’s not lost, his search is undeserved/ But he’s just like you as a matter of fact

You go to many places, you wear so many faces

So tell me now honey, which one is you?

There’s floodin’ in the alley, thievin’ in the alley 

Won’t you tell me now brother, what are you gonna do?

When you wake up and find it’s not around/ Don’t act confused like you had it there before

You’ve been cast out, but I didn’t let you down/ You never did have too much report

All your tribulations are causin you vexation

Don’t they say wisdom comes from sorrow and grief?

All of the seasons of the trial and the treason

Why can’t you see, it’s just you and me?  

It’s just you and me

-Price/Ivey
