Michael Winters Lukas Read creates amazing atmospheres and a true-to-his-roots country vibe that brings back memories of Whiskeytown and Ryan Adams and The Cardinals. Great, relaxing, country music with nice, traditionally-inspired lyricism. Favorite track: My Red Dog.
Dying For Bad Music

Dying For Bad Music Read released those "Metamodern Sounds" when Sturgill Simpson was still tripping on shrooms. Favorite track: To His Bedside (under deerhides).

She's singing all the saddest songs that she knows how to play along In my head a voice rings out All alone, who cares to shout No one sees my cry No one cares about her like I do since we were 17 She don't know me at all And I don't what I'll do if she calls

He thinks that he has found an answer to all the problems that he starts He thinks it's all his power flowing from in the garden with his name He stands up to me open always his hands up pointing, straight-up holy And who does he see And oh he don't see me He sees his face in the clouds, for he has gone to that wooden house That wooden house he built his way In the clouds on the clearest of days It's a one-room haven His face unshaven The wood stacked neatly His mountain treaty Coffee, flour, jars of sweet tea Listen closely, birds are chirping in the rafters nests bring laughter To his bedside, under deerhides He wakes up early, his eyes filled with dew Those aren't tears though, they're promises he means to keep One by one, they fall down his cheek He wakes up early, his eyes filled with you Those aren't tears though, they're promises he means to keep One by one, they fall down his cheek When they're empty he lays down When they're empty he don't make a sound He's the only man in his town And you're the only woman he has ever found With eyes that color brown

My Red Dog 06:19
I'm done waiting Lord, for my red dog He ran away from me yesterday He warms my red bones Oh I'll be waiting the rest of my days For that dog has gone away That dog has gone away I'm done praying Lord, for better luck I pray every night and day for good to come my way, but I just end up down Oh i don't know who I am anymore Since you left girl, my days are a chore I'm done picking Lord, On my guitar, singing out my heart I write songs about my car and driving out West real far so I can keep my head quiet till I am dead Please sing with me and pick a key I'll play for free No, money don't bind me I'm done driving Lord, my beat up truck The one with the bad, bad luck I find peace inside, when I go out for a ride I'll pick you up in five Somedays I'm driving across the land I see my ending on the Horizon Ending on the horizon Ending on the horizon Ending on the horizon Ending on the horizon

Blue skies, up ahead Blue skies, sun is read Rain came, now it's gone I got Blue skies, up ahead Rain washed down the valley took me from my family now I walk on and wonder when I'll feel my mother's arms holding me again My girl she writes me letters Says she loves me always and ever Now I walk on and sing her name She's my sweet tea, my Katie Mae Warm breeze wakes me up early sings me a mountain melody Californ-i-a I wish you well will I return-t-ya? Only time will tell

When you walk into my room all covered in red Your eyes shoot me glances that hint to my bed I put on a record, your favorite song And we dance, and we dance to the fuse of this bomb We walk and we sing about nothing at all our minds are other places that no one can recall the trees and the moonlight are our only company but if you listen carefully you can hear the melody and I know you won't be here in the morning when i wake and i know you won't sleep here till the sunrise starts to breaks and i know that you love me but the signs they point away so i try and i try to live in yesterday if i kiss you too softly when it rains if i hold you too tightly through your games and if i walk away slowly and you don't care if i'm gone then i won't bother to care when you fall and done me wrong what good is it to call you when i'm drunk and hardly there you laugh and you amuse me like a play that can't be shared but when you lie against me our bodies learned to rhyme and i smile to the highest of the high
