I can't get enough Bill Mallonee

One of the greatest songwriters of our day, who is by and large unknown. The genius isn't in his guitar playing, but in his lyrics. He writes lyrics you think with my friends.

Unfortunately, folks who love him are also crappy videographers. The youtube footage of this guy is tough to come by and often poor in quality. Someone do the world a favor and record this guy live with something other than a camera phone or camcorder.



Below is an older song. but with an actual video.
lyrically he captures you in the story of the dust bowl.

"lost my first born that winter, my wife on the first day of spring.
so I poured sweat into the earth, yeah to see what that harvest would bring."
amazing.
