Drunkards Moan

Initially, I wanted to write an old style acapella mountain song. As a 15 year old, I recall sitting on the front porch of a shack in the mountains of Kentucky and hearing an older lady break out in an acapella gospel song. Her lonesome sound was unforgettable. The lyrics came before the melody and the intent was to recreate that experience in some fashion. However, sometimes lyrics take a life of their own and demand the music. So goes it in the creative world.
