The next great war, will be like, all others Over rocks and sands, and hills that smother It’ll have no real value, other than to finish lovers And war it’ll be again for you and me They say the last one, will be Jezreel basin From where can be watched, Megiddo, while laze’n ... But it may well start in other, Waterless, too, Or the Peak of Eternal Light..., so ironic pre-flight They say mountains will split, with the step, of One foot All will see clearly bright light from His sky, from His sky..., oh why... With creatures with wings and heads of lions And human-maned faces, with feet, all there blaz'n, *on fire So-to-the moon, Alice,..., to the moon I go A wonderland palace of, white white cold The warmth will come soon, from the blaze below ohhh ohhh wooowwwhhh While astro-bodies, watch human ones... go go go Machine gun sounds, will blow in the wind, and blow your mind too And catch up soon, to the Ohio din Each generation inherits, but earns it's fate It's one by one, oh one by one, gold (It's all about the gold...)

A E D A I come... from Alabama with a banjo on my need, Going, Louisiana, my true love for to seed It, did rain all night the day I left her, the weather, it was dry The sun so hot, I froze to death, Susanna, don't you cry Oh, Susanna, don't you cry, cry for me For I come from Alabama with a banjo on my need I had a dream the other night when everything was still I thought I saw Susanna, coming up the hill The buckwheat cake was in her mouth, a tear was in her eye I said I'm coming from Dixieland, Susanna don't you cry. Oh, Susanna, don't you cry, oh cry for me For I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my need I soon will be, in New Orleans, and then I'll look around And when I find my gal Susanne, I'll fall, upon, the ground But if I do not find her, this sparky'll surely die and when I'm dead and buried Susanna don't, don't you cry Oh, oh Susanna, don't you cry, cry for me For I come from Alabama, with my banjo on my need (c) ustaknow (alias) all rights reserved

about

"Southern Routes", pronounced "roots", - is a chunking of the music from 5090-2019 that for me seemed to develop a theme, feel, sound extraction from my routes/roots/pasts, -- and so Albumised, Collectified, or otherswise made a Collection of them specifically!

(I *Moved them, not reloaded/uploaded, therefore ---- as they got "Albumized" disappear from the 5090 collection, the "Luftwerk..." cover, -- it's just how BandCamp works, and is far less work!)

These Tracks are likely best left as "Undefined"; however, me being a whole human being, fully dimensional, these songs will involve, Love, Loss, Law Enforcement Days, and Jesus Christ (Lord have mercy, on us all - included in many "Blues", R&B, Folk songs more or less and of course Rock and Roll, esp. the late '60's, '70's, peace, love, sex and rock 'n roll era. Just Say'in they ain't "Christian", [as if any church would sing'em!?] )

They are what I like to call, "Kitchen Table Tapes" tracks, so to speak.

And while yes, I could do allot more work to perfect, auto-tune, work-for-hire others, - it may otherwise all more or less sound pretty much the same as these not perfected tracks. I know the folks with which I may collaborate feel the same. Also, a "feel" is often proved to have been lost which is why today one sees many "initial cut" bounce track albums, not the "Radio Ready" cuts, by the more mainstream, or historically very successful artists (just copying the little guys ? hahhh!)

=========================================

The album cover art, as I like to do as well as I may, is the -- USA South East Coast map outline in Red, White, and Blue over the now fully legal CBD Hemp Plant! For many reasons this plant shape outlines many "Redneck" days from long ago within many contexts; and so, I did this, what I think is a pretty "neat-o" cover art graphic! (c) 2019 ustaknow (alias)
