about

Drinkin' Night is a collection of true stories. Cautionary tales, if you will. I really did do cocaine in Australia, though not on purpose. Likewise my falling victim to a puff of PCP laced Marijuana. A note to all young songwriters, at some point your mom will come to a show you perform. You won't see her in the back and you will play a song like this. Your relationship will change forever. Not because she is angry, but because of how hard she laughs.

I’ve wanted to have an official collaboration with The Mongrel Jews for almost ten years now. The night I met them something compelled me to beg them to let me sit in with their band on my fiddle. The results were unexpectedly awesome, and we’ve been pals ever since. I am overjoyed that I could pass fiddle duties to Faith Grossnicklaus on this one, she is farandaway a better fiddler than I will ever be.

lyrics

I’m a man, who likes things simple, ust give me my beer and a bump.
You let me be with my gin or my tea, I’ve had quite enough of that junk.

Oh, it’s drinkin’ night, that’s why I’m singin’ this song,
Leave my booze alone, and I’ll let yah go home.
If you don’t I’m going to fight yah.
IF YOU DON’T I’M GOING TO FIGHT YAH!

Last time, I went down to Australia, I learned a valuable thing,
sometimes when you’re handed a shotglass, half of the drink is cocaine.
It’ll take about an hour to hit yah, when is right when you’re up on the stage,
you’ll finish your set at triple the speed, like a rat in an electrified cage

I don’t often smoke of the herb, because these days, some add PCP,
it’s so hard to tell, with these sciencey young kids, just what they’ve done to my weed.
When I accidentally smoked PCP I shouted, the ground is lava, weeeee!
It took hours to find me, and when they did, I was forty feet up in a tree.
