Description

“Susan Herndon's latest album, All Fall Down, produced under the direction of Lloyd Maines, is a collection of songs that includes country, pop, blues, rock, reggae, bluegrass, jug-band, a ballad, a poetry-ramble, and a French song. (...always a French song thrown-in, car elle parle un petit peu de francais aussi...) The unifying thread being, "quite simply, she has one of the sweetest and most comforting female voices... of course it doesn't hurt that she's also a gifted songwriter."

Lyrics

From the New Hit Movie Cowgirls and Angels and on It's Soundtrack Lay Me Down I have made some big mistakes And i find what follows Is everything we do and say Rings true or just sounds hollow Some things I cannot resist So i'm cleaning up my mess But every mill has need for grist Then must give up the excess *Lay me down, fill me up, cover me over With red dirt and blue grass I may not always live up To what is my potential But as i see things come and pass We're left with what's essential Turn me underneath the prairie When i'm dead and dust and ash I pray to leave you what will carry To the one sweet light that lasts *Lay me down, fill me up, cover me over With red dirt and blue grass ^There're a few things that i love And there are things that i just like Some things hit you from Above And some creep up and bite you There is reggae, rock & roll There is jazz and jive There is music that's got soul And some that gives me hives It takes good time for me to know And I don't learn very fast Where this all will lead and grow But one thing's sure to pass... *Lay me down, fill me up, cover me over... Lay me down, fill me up, cover me over With red dirt and blue grass
