CD – Full Moon Spirits

What does one do if one knows one is a conduit to the spirit world? Keep writing and singing what flows through the conduit I guess….
So… here you go!

Landslide is dedicated to my daughter Elaynia Parker/Cline.

“Always the Same in the End” Was handed to me with this full moon – no rehearsal, no prelude, turn on the recorder and an instant song comes from my full moon muse… Listen carefully a few times.. this is more than what is seems… maybe this should be played at my funeral 🙂

Rusty’s Favorite Songs to Sing Written by Others


Sorry Words Written by Bernie Taupin and Music by Elton John:
Sorry

“Take this longing from my tongue” Leonard Cohen is my favorite lyricist/poet:
For One You Loved – Leonard Cohen


One of the best ballads ever written…
I have attempted to record this at least 50 times over the years, finally I will accept this one.
Taxi


Everyone else has re-written this classic so I may as well too!
Hallelujah – Music Leonard Cohen – Words, Rusty Cline


This is my version of Chelsea Hotel… I love the line: “that was called love for the worker’s in song, probably still is for those of them left.”
Chelsea Hotel – Leonard Cohen


Chuck Brodsky put more in these words about war than ever any other poet could write – it is my pleasure to sing this great song:
Our Gods – Chuck Brodsky


When I heard the line in this song: “Like the wind hung up on barbed wire” I knew I would have to learn it!
Handsome Molly – Bill Morrisey


Rearranging an old standby for my youngest son that slipped away to Alabama – yes he plays a bit of banjo so it is appropriate…
With a Banjo On His Knee – Steven Foster


Tapestry was Written by Don McLean – A dark but true prediction of what we were doing to the planet 35 years ago – and now it is coming true..
Tapestry – Don McLean
