1 of 2 - Americana Forward! - Hold Me Back

Post by johnnyrowing » Fri Feb 21, 2025 3:55 pm

Yes! I am so thrilled to share that one of my Americana tracks received a forward! One of my good friends played the double-bass and Dobro for me.

I was really hoping this one would get through as I found it to be so fun. The "colors" lyric made me smile. :)

Thank you listener 451! Here is the feedback - https://www.taxi.com/members/Ef77nz5GSm ... UfO2CXb7tQ

Here is the link to the track - https://www.taxi.com/members/Ef77nz5GSm ... ck-morgan-

Here are the lyrics
Hold Me Back
I’ve been chasing shadows
While I’m hiding from the sun
Been out branding cattle but I have yet to kill one

Mists and vapors meet me on the morning range
And that noonday heat it burns them away

Hold me back
Yea, hold me back
Yea I got threats that I don’t mean to follow up on

Hold me back
Yea, hold me back
Or I might prove that I ain’t much to be scared of

Cowards come in many colors, It ain’t just the one
Yea, them yellowbellies might be greenhorn, red-faced, silver-tongued
Devils love to get to dancin’ on a pin
And live their lives in not now but someday

Hold me back
Yea, hold me back
Yeah I got threats that I don’t mean to follow up on

Hold me back
Yea, hold me back
Or I might prove that I ain’t much to be scared of

[Break]

Hold me back
Hold me back

Hold me back
Yea, hold me back
Yea, I got threats that I don’t mean to follow up on

Hold me back
Yea, hold me back
Or I might prove that I ain’t much

Thanks Edmond. I visited your website.

Your orchestral/Americana hybrid stuff was awesome-sauce! Do you have a Taxi page too?

I have fixed my Taxi page link in my signature. For some reasons, it was pointing to a different website. But feel free to reach out by email!
