The Band of Heathens - Jackson Station

Guitar buddies who seem to love making music together, with a touch of texas blues. “Mama’s got a voice like sugar, it’s so sweet and fine. Sister sings amazing grace, she’s right in time. And they’re laying poor papa low in the ground, so now they’re waiting in the Jackson Station for the train to roll.” The next verse comes in with a new vocalist, and soon the chorus enters with 3 part harmony. “Lay me down where the river lays wide and strong. Sometimes you buy a ticket home.” Lots of fine, down-home playing with a recording that makes me feel like I’m in the living room with some mighty fine players complete with a mandolin and harmonica player. Get the bbq on and be ready to be transported. A bottle of lonestar will complete this meal just fine. Shoutouts for Cornbread & Nine Steps Down. Come prepared to dance. The Band of Heathens
