about

Happy Birthday to me. This track is a gift to self. I remember the first time I heard Magnolia when I was twelve years old. It’s been my desert island pick ever since. All through the anthemic 80’s and 90’s and whatever the 2000’s have been, it has remained a mystery to me. I didn’t set out to record it, it just happened in a very peaceful moment of clarity. I think I figured out the secret to playing like J.J. Cale finally. Just listen so it can play through you, that’s how you do it. It’s a deeply comforting frequency setting if you allow yourself to stay quiet and let it be. It felt so good playing the guitars that I went ahead and played all the other instruments as well. It brings me a lot of joy to share this track with you. It has been on my wish list forever.

lyrics

Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

Whisper, "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming back to you babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you baby
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
