World's On Fire

Across the wide seas, distant mountains, and the vast complexity of the soul, this new release by The Crooked Jades emphasizes the lonesome in High Lonesome music. Their old-time roots reflect the cultural melange and longing implicit in the shadows of America, wedding hypnotic fiddle tunes to the haunting ballads of one man lost in a changing land. An innovative old-time string band closer in spirit to Tom Waits and Nick Cave, The Crooked Jades create a unique and soulful modern sound by exploring the roots of Americana and interweaving the diverse musical influences of Europe and Africa. Tracks: Cant Stare Down A Mountaineer / Sandy Boys / Fork & File / Goodbye Trouble The Soul Of Man / One Girl On The Turnpike Road / Girl Slipped Down / Old Cow Died / Ring The Moon / Shirttail Boogie / Shallow Brown / Heavens Gonna Be My Home / Indian War Whoop, Pancake Walk / Blur / Blackberry Blossom / Worlds On Fire.
