tiandrad You amazing gem of a human. I am in awe. Thank you, thank you, thank you. God damn woman!!! Cheers

Caoimhín A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Favorite track: Flood Plain.

PDD A stellar collection, with too many favorites to list. Earthy, often gritty, but also with a bit of fun. Ciker's voice grabbed me on every song. Favorite track: Chester's.

That river in the winter It could fuck me up Crack my ribs, bust my lip It could do enough Were you staying in your own lane Were you passing on a steep grade Out driving past Minam When the moon came up I could see her, I had a fever Lit by the troubles of love I was asking a question, what did she say She was answering one from yesterday saying Fortune favors the bold and the far away from home Jordan Valley, she would gladly Stop in at Mrs. Z’s With the shepherds and the wreckers To keep her company Took a room at the old Basque hotel It was a kind of a prayer when her eyelids fell, one saying Fortune favors the bold and the far away from home That river in the winter It could fuck me up Crack my ribs, bust my lip It could do enough

Kevin Johnson born on Southern soil Kevin Johnson born on Southern soil Had a mammy and a pa Brother sister had it all Kevin Johnson born on Southern soil Kevin Johnson sat on Pappy's knee Kevin Johnson sat on Pappy's knee Oh Big Brother’ll try to take from you Else he'll try to break you Kevin Johnson sat on Pappy's knee Kevin Johnson, raised a godly man Kevin Johnson, raised a godly man Well the world looked good to him I wish I too walked in Eden Kevin Johnson, raised a godly man Kevin Johnson took a bonny wife Kevin Johnson took a bonny wife But when the two lay down to bed There was a rattle in her head Kevin Johnson took a bonny wife Kevin had a daughter and a son Kevin had a daughter and a son To his son he said fight To his daughter take your lot in life Kevin had a daughter and a son Kevin Johnson heard the people cry Kevin Johnson heard the people cry He said I can do that too Listen it’s not hard to do When Kevin Johnson heard the people cry

Well this season it reminds me Of being down and out in Carolina I drove back to California and I took my time Had a friend who rode beside me And when we made camp he would sing for me It seems like such an inconsequential thing Is it any wonder It gets hard for me A lot gets lost on me I keep lookin I took a tumble on a mountain And it rattled up a few things But I was singin again by the time I made it down Now I fight the urge to ramble With every three-egg breakfast scramble And I marvel at hot water as it leaves the tap Is it any wonder It gets hard for me A lot gets lost on me I keep lookin’ Heard a woman go on record Sayin’ there’s one night that wrecked her When a young man closed his hand across her mouth Now every room she sleeps in She’s gotta map out her escape plan Imagine all those hours devoted to bigger things Is it any wonder It gets hard for me A lot gets lost on me

Flood Plain 03:26
You left the building in a flurry Had your boots on in the house They were dropping little dirt clods You were dropping little doubts You’re asking me questions On which I can’t dwell And I’m sorry I hold you tighter Than I ever held myself If you’re stayin, stay If you’re goin, go Just remember that I am home If you’re drivin’, drive Gotta ramble, ram Don’t you forget you always come home The textures we live for The vices we chase They’re all out on a flood plain That the tears inundate So if you don’t like yelling You ain’t one to cry Find a brackish imitation To keep those suckers alive If you’re stayin, stay If you’re goin’, go Just remember that I am home If you’re drivin’, drive Gotta ramble, ram Don’t you forget that I am home

Tehachapi 03:07
Wasn’t much of a warning He disappeared one morning Put his mattress up on the back of a pickup truck I’d been workin’ My shoulders were hurtin’ I was learning how to turn my muscles into somethin’ Will you think of me Will you think of me Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi? In Sonoma County The grass is feisty It’ll put a tear in your eye, make your nose run like it was wanted You worked on the water I worked in the pasture And the fog rollin’ into Petaluma at night brought those two together Will you think of me Will you think of me Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi? Will I cross your mind Down the 99 Will you think of me your way back to Tehachapi? Told you I was willin’ But you heard strugglin’ Tell me how does a girl with a family like yours end up so desperate? It’s these Little Feats That keep me goin’ And the day that I quit tryin’, that’s the day my heart stops growin’ Will you think of me Will you think of me Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi? Will I cross your mind When you’re gunnin’ down I-5 Will you think of me on your way back to Tehachapi?

There’s a barbed wire fence way down in the canyon Are we inside or outside the line? You step over it I go through it And the kid belly crawls cause they’re five If you knew what it was like to be On both sides of me I’m going farther this time I’m going farther this time There’s a farmer we know Steps into the tavern Where the bright lights ease the mind The band gets an encore, The farmer a stiff pour And we’re all getting closer this time Yeah we’re all getting closer this time If you knew what it was like to be On both sides of me I’m going farther this time I’m going farther this time If you knew what it was like to have Both hands tied I’m going farther this time I’m going farther this time There’s a barbed wire fence way down in the canyon Are we inside or outside the line

Chester's 03:37
Goin’ out on a limb Paint a new horizon Leave my state on a whim Chase the highway whites again I leaned my back into a gas station, that’s when my sister had to stir hope in me I’ve made my bed on the side of the road Seen my good friends get married and then feel alone I’ve seen the drunks in a line at Chester’s I can’t let myself get lonely no more Tip my hat to the wind Shake the dust off the brim In his workboots worn thin Stands my love untrimmed Darlin’, would you take All my suffering and ache Won’t you keep me from this road I’ve been down? I’ve made my bed on the side of the road Seen my good friends get married and then feel alone I’ve seen the drunks in a line at Chester’s I can’t let myself get lonely no more

Well I wish I was my brother I could light up every room That I ever walked through All the matters is what's in your head, that's true I wish I was my brother I'd know what it means to have everything And I wish I was a taxman I could go from door to door Incriminating all the unlucky and the poor I wish I was a taxman I'd know what it means to take everything I wish I was a preacher I could tell you who to love I could tell you who to vote for Who to pity, who to fuck I wish I was a preacher I'd know what it means to know everything Well I wish I was my brother I wish I was a taxman I wish I was a preacher I wish I was all those things I wish I was my brother I'd know what it means to have everything

I'm putting some dreams out to pasture I'm sending some dreams up the hill Some dreams I'm gonna soak down in water So they'll be easy come the Spring I've had my share of adventures And I've been no stranger to fun Rooms full of music and laughter And we all look the same- every one I wish I had all of the time in the world I wish I had all of the time Sit down to dine across from my lover We'll share a bottle of wine between Make it good one, camarero I didn't come here to waste my time There's a river of wine that flows out I'm a woman drinks deeply It's my rosy coping mechanism And it keeps my heart safe I wish I had all of the wine in the world I wish I had all of the wine in the world I wish I had all of the wine in the world I wish I had all of the wine A funny thing happened this last time I was out traveling Nobody's lives stood still My grandfather tended to his bees and his garden And we lost him on the first of the year I'm a woman split between places I'm gonna lose loved ones on both side It's my life- I can relate create participate I just wish I just had more time.. I wish I had all of the time in the world I wish I had all of the time in the world I wish I had all of the time in the world I wish I had all of time

about

Pohorylle is Margo Cilker's debut full-length LP. The record, which carries gentle nods to Lucinda Williams, Townes Van Zandt, and Gillian Welch, shines under the instincts of producer Sera Cahoone, whom Cilker first came across in 2019 while planning her first full-length.

Cahoone quickly got to work assembling a first-rate band: Jenny Conlee (The Decemberists) on keys, Jason Kardong (Sera Cahoone, Son Volt) on pedal steel, Rebecca Young (Lindsey Fuller, Jesse Sykes) on bass, Mirabai Peart (Joanna Newsom) on strings, Kelly Pratt (Beirut) on horns, and the album’s engineer John Morgan Askew (Neko Case, Laura Gibson) on an array of other instruments. The record also prominently features effortless harmonies from Sarah Cilker, Margo Cilker’s sister and frequent touring partner.

about

Margo Cilker Goldendale, Washington

I once google-searched the definition of "pine" and the example provided was this: "Some people pine for the return of the monarchy". I'd feel the same way, perhaps, had I been born in a different place, but I'm left to pine for other things like basque wine, moonlight and cowboys. ... more
