Lyrics of all songs
"Former Red Clay Rambler Mike Craver is a walking anachronism, a songwriter of extraordinary
talent who distills elements of traditional British and American folk song and Tin Pan Alley into
a mesmerizing original blend. Based on turn-of-the-century stories from Craver's Piedmont
North Carolina heritage, "Wagoner's Lad" is a breathtaking song cycle, filled with vividly detailed
characters relating their bittersweet first-person ballads, accompanied by Craver's keyboards and
guitar, and sung in his warm, engaging, and intimate style. This is, quite simply, a timeless disc
of rare and profound beauty that grows better with each new listen." Gene Hyde, DIRTY LINEN
