Flying 03:42
Only see morning at the end of my day you can only see stars in the dark anyway I didn't plan it, but i'm on my way higher and higher Feels like i'm flying but I'm sure to crash if I don't find a way to come down Damn you gravity i'd do better if you weren't around Some need a voice at the end of the phone some need a lover so they aren't alone need is the weakness you start to become til it's taken over Feels like i'm flying but I'm sure to crash if I don't find a way to come down Damn you gravity i'd do better if you weren't around Who's going to break my fall who's going to pick up all the pieces I leave I'm running, I know it's coming Feels like i'm flying but I'm sure to crash if I don't find a way to come down Damn you gravity i'd do better if you weren't around I'm Falling down

That old heartache every time you leet me down I hope that things would turn around but you just turn to stone and I'm left to drown Wonder how all this will end Wonder what you're gonna do cause I will move but you wont bend so tell me who is breaking who tell me who tell me who is breaking who It's that old heartache every time you leet me down I hope that things would turn around but you just turn to stone and I'm left to drown I'd talk to Jesus if I could but I'm told we don't see eye to eye cause we are both misunderstood hanging out here high and dry That old heartache every time you leet me down I hope that things would turn around but you just turn to stone and I'm left to drown all the while we're hurting, you and I neither of us understanding why the thing that keeps us bonded is the pain that drags us under its that old heartache every time you leet me down I hope that things would turn around but you just turn to stone and I'm left to drown

Look what you've done what we've become It started as fun but where do we go now Don't you just sit there acting like you don't care Don't tell me it's not fair I already know now There's no mistake my will will break I won't let me, I won't let me let you go so look what you've done loaded the gun thrill like a shiver, I pull the trigger the race has begun tell me me its not true but I won't believe you all that we've been through who am I without you? There's no mistake my will will break I won't let me, I won't let me let you go so look what you've done It's all because I need you most I won't let me, I won't let me let you go Don't leave me alone, don't leave me alone if I can't have you then look what you've done

Roll Along 03:08
Find me some water and I'll set sail I don't need nothing but the breeze find me an angle to guide my way and we will sail the seven seas Roll along, roll along taking a chance on a change of circumstance roll along, roll along choose an adventure of your own Find me a heart that will love to love a universe of possibilities dancing forever among the stars we'll set adrift to roam eternally Roll along, roll along taking a chance on a change of circumstance roll along, roll along choose an adventure of your own

When the walls crumble and fall we go to the ocean to feel a little closer, the warmth in the cold the new from the old, connecting our souls 'cause if you're not gone, are we really here at all Bye bye Blackbird, fly free your lifted light take a team of angles so we know you'll be alright breath until we fly breath until we fly place our faith in time while we're seeing out this ride breath until we fly breath until we fly when I could not see the light is when I realised There was three rainbows at my window I didn't even know Three rainbows at my window Three rainbows at my window helping us to know Life is a cruel but necessary evil it's a blessing all the same it's footsteps to a funeral through a picture perfect sky it's echoes and whispers and names It's constant vibrations, the echoes are they real? what triggers a thought to change the particles that feel? breath until we fly breath until we fly connected by the light to the passing of all time breath until we fly breath until we fly when I could not see that light is when I realised There was three rainbows at my window I didn't even know Three rainbows at my window Three rainbows at my window helping us to know smiling faces watching over you in between the sadness love shines through breath until we fly breath until we fly connected by the light to the passing of all time breath until we fly breath until we fly

Pirate Flag 03:26
It's disconcerting that we're not learning a thing As history plays out there's nothing about it changing But history books are written by crooks with agendas we cannot conceive Liars and thieves will make you believe Things that you shouldn't believe Let's leave today go on and pack your bags Let's set sail under a pirate flag Cause you are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come You are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come All of the treasures are buried with pleasures so deep The highest of bidders makes winners of sinners til we can no longer compete A hand full of aces smirks on their faces Flying the flag of the free You sit at the table willing and able but you can no longer believe Let's leave today go on and pack your bags Let's set sail under a pirate flag Cause you are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come You are waiting, you are waiting for something that may never come You’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting You’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting, you’ve been waiting So let's leave today go on and pack your bags Let's set sail under a pirate flag

Whole Lotta 04:32
Everybody's here, everybody's feeling it A whole lotta goodness gonna be going down If oxygen is needed it will fall down from the ceiling A whole lotta goodness gonna be going down Whole lotta Whole lotta Whole lotta goodness gonna be going down Whole lotta Whole lotta Whole lotta goodness gonna be going down All the happy people are shuffling and grooving There's a whole lotta goodness gonna be going down Nothing we can do to stop our feet from moving A whole lotta goodness gonna be going down Time to get up clap your hands and sing it There's a whole lotta goodness gonna be going down I'm singing it for you come on now people bring it A whole lotta goodness gonna be going down

about

When you think of the USA’s Deep South, you think of bluegrass and country, rhythm and blues. When you think of the Gold Coast it’s all about the surf. Hussy Hicks have taken the best of both and brought them to life with their new album.

Hussy Hicks have a strong connection to Alabama, drawn there regularly in the past ten years to perform, record and revitalise between tours of Europe, USA and Australia. So it’s no surprise that release was recorded deep in the heart of Dixie.

The band had spent a few weeks at the magical Muscle Shoals Sound Studios recording ‘Raise the Dead’ by Kristy Lee and were keen to get back to Alabama to cut some Hussy Hicks tracks. Hall of Fame legend Rick Hirsch (Wet Willy, Cher, Greg Allman, Joan Armatrading) played host to the Hussy Hicks in his Alabama studio, where they gathered a few musician friends to collaborate on a seven-track mini album.

The album’s title track was inspired by the duo’s European touring schedule.
After regular appearances at Sarzana Austic Guitar festival the girls became involved in a music loving association near Rome. The directors of the organisation are keen guitar players and After concerts everyone would often end up at Guiseppe Fortunato’s (Lucky Joe) house jammin’ on guitars, eating amazing food and drinking his home made wine. Julz had been working on an instrumental for a while and figured that if they could convey the feeling you get jamming after cracking open the latest vintage then you couldn’t go wrong – Lucky Joe’s Wine was named.

…and Dog River ?
Rick’s studio sits right on a bend on Mobile’s Dog River. The location: Spanish Moss dripping out of the Magnolia trees and fish literally jumping, delivered a more alternative country feel to the album.

‘Lucky Joe’s Wine and Other Tales From Dog River’ is a completely new direction for the Australian-based duo, seeing an evolution of sound from NCEIA Album of the Year ‘The London Sessions’ to a more alt country, southern feel.
The country focus will be no surprise to Hussy Hicks’ long-time fans. Leesa Gentz grew up in the Australian country scene, signing to ABC records at just 16 years old. As always, the Hussies’ music is a melting pot of influences and on this track you hear not just Leesa’s country roots but also a pull towards the surf instrumental vibes from Julz’s time with the Phil Emmanuel band.
