about

Everything (w/ the exception of the solo in Dirt Blues) was cut live to analog tape at Trax East Studios. This is a wonderful snapshot of where we were & how we're growing.

Extra Special thanks to Tony Verrilli for stepping up & filling the low end on this recording. We had an amazing time playing with you and could not have moved forward without your help.

about

Root Spirits' heavy blues-rock sound draws upon groove oriented American roots music: combining their love of Blues power, Jazz improvisation, and Soul swagger with "high art" aesthetics of experimental and psychedelic interludes. Visceral live performances take their fans on a journey as it moves their heart, minds, and feet with a message of love and peace. ... more

Track Name: Stoney Queen
You're the best thing to want in the worst way
Those long legs and thick thighs
Hands electric healing through my open mind
Dancing so fine
Those eyes afire green like your aura – You're one of a kind
And you wanna be my

Stoney Queen
You're my Stoney Queen


You've got to see my love the right way
And I've got to show you just how we play


Our bodies quaking closing the divide
As you scream out baby baby you just shine
We’re sharing currents open third eyes
you wanna be mine


You're my Stoney Queen x3
Track Name: Buried in Snow
Oh you sweet thing
You've got that long hair cover your eyes
No wonder you can’t see the truth
Behind the screen of light

This ain't no love song baby
You've got to open your eyes
The world's gonna pass right through you
Like a hot knife

Oh you sweet thing oh you ignorant thing
Distracted by your bourgeois life
Not gonna feel right coming down
When the drugs fall out of sight

If you don't know they'll bury you in snow
The static feeds your mind

You’ve gotta know they'll bury you in snow
The static blurs your mind
Track Name: Young Bones
Bury me today. Your sheltered eyes see through my ways
Carry my load. It’s so much heavier & I've been waiting so long to see how you explode

You're burning in my heart so long
The feeling is so strong
Black Magic in a summer storm
Your juesos, your bones

You've sent me away Your eyes tell me what you want to say
And I've been aching so long to see the way that you repay

You're burning in my heart so long
The feeling is so strong
Black Magic in a summer storm
Your juesos, your bones

We were so young
What we did was so wrong

We were so young
What I did was so wrong
You were so young

Carry my heart away girl I need to hear you say
Chango’s spirit so strong – double axe & two horns

You're burning in my heart so long
The feeling is so strong
Black Magic in a summer storm
Your juesos, your bones
Track Name: Sure it Ain't Jelly
As our world divides
You just watch it from the outside
Looking in through pain
The glass cracks like a photo in a wooden frame
I can't believe you're not sleeping
From the dreams that you've been weaving

Your heart don't ring so fast
The dull sound wouldn't last
As distant bells carry over the sunset

You cry "my heart still bleeds"
Thick & black it pours empty
You sure it ain't jelly
Your spirits withering

You let the anger rise
Disconnected from what feels right
Broken roots of a tree
Hung with rotten teeth
All the weeds that you're keeping
Grow between the ones you’re deceiving

Your heart don't ring so fast
The dull sound wouldn't last
As distant bells carry over the sunset

You cry "my heart still bleeds"
Thick & black it pours empty
You sure it ain't jelly
Your spirits withering x3
Track Name: Dirt Blues
Baby Baby I think you're stronger than the dirt
Baby Baby I think you're stronger than the dirt
My tornado hits the ground - I shake the earth

You lose me you lose your sky above
You lose me you lose your sky above
Grow them wings girl & come give me love

Oh the time is coming round
The moon draws me out
I just couldn't show you
You gotta feel me now

Baby baby your ocean's wet with love
Baby baby your ocean’s wet with love
I'll dive right in – I ain’t afraid of the mess

Oh the time is coming round
The moon draws me out
I just couldn't show you
You gotta feel me now

I search the world for you mud when I find it I'll drink it up
