From the mountains in Alberta, to South Ontario
Daddy’s little girl is tough as nails...
She can plant a forest,
She can back down a chainsaw
Tryin to keep an outlaw out of jail,
Daddy was a carpenter
Daddy’s back was strong,
He taught her to stand her ground
And work hard all day long but her spirit needed healin’ from all
It’s wandering around, so she packed up her hawk feather and
Headed south...
Chorus
She’s a real live wire, she’s a high strung horse
But she will always win the race for you, oh what a wonder oh
What a force, Daddy’s little girl will always come through
She played for the lost souls, she sang for the bikers, a
Rock n roll angel they called Queen Red, they’d all come
To listen, down by the canal, to every song she sang, and
Every word she said. Mama was an Irish traveler way up
In Muskoka, mama she gave daddy’s girl some hillbilly lines
All the gifts and mysteries, all the hidden treasures for her
To unwrap, once piece at a time Chorus
She keeps a candle burnin’ all day and all night long
She loves the singer as much as the song, when you’re a
Cosmic pilgrim the world is just a shell, lookin for a spring
Deep inside a well I’ll always come and see her no matter
What shape I’m in, she can always turn my head no matter
How she’s feelin, she can open up a border, she can tear down
A wall, yeah daddy’s little girl can do it all
Chorus

These are exceptionally good (nearly- instrumental) vignettes played with so much finesse and grace. Pieces to carry you far and wide to wonderful places that live on the borderlands of typical Bluegrass tunes, but are all the better for it. The first track is absolutely perfect accompaniment for any late afternoon or evening Autumnal stroll or window staring musings.
Fans of early Grisman or early Tony Rice instrumentals take note. Joe Borreson
