about
1. Fire And Dust
The dust storms that Woody and his family endured gave him his start on the road as the Dust Bowl Balladeer and a force to reckon with. It gave him fuel for his humour and his anger, so evident in his Dust Bowl Ballads. Fire brought pain and heartbreak too many times.

lyrics
FIRE & DUST (R.Meuross)
You are the voice you are the call
You are the word of one and all
You who know a lesson learned
In fire upon your heart is burned
You heard the little shoe-shine boy
His harp of sorrow harp of joy
And vowed his song of slavery
You’d make a song of liberty
Fire and dust they drove you west
The poverty of righteousness
He made the peaches on the tree
And plucked your mother’s mind from thee
Chorus
Is this same god in who you trust
The god of fire the god of dust
She took you to the picture show
You learned more than she’d ever know
The little man his cane and curls
Against a cruel and unjust world
At seventeen you hit the rails
Among the fallen and the failed
And the Little Juarez working girls
A soda jerk with songs and curls
Chorus
You sang for those who’d got no home
So they’d never ride the tracks alone
For Mobile Mac and Denver Fly
You sang The Hobo’s Lullaby
You are the voice you are the call
You are the word of one and all
You who know a lesson learned
In fire upon your heart is burned
You heard the little shoe-shine boy
His harp of sorrow harp of joy
And vowed his song of slavery
You’d make a song of liberty
Fire and dust they drove you west
The poverty of righteousness
He made the peaches on the tree
And plucked your mother’s mind from thee
Chorus
Is this same god in who you trust
The god of fire the god of dust
She took you to the picture show
You learned more than she’d ever know
The little man his cane and curls
Against a cruel and unjust world
At seventeen you hit the rails
Among the fallen and the failed
And the Little Juarez working girls
A soda jerk with songs and curls
Chorus
You sang for those who’d got no home
So they’d never ride the tracks alone
For Mobile Mac and Denver Fly
You sang The Hobo’s Lullaby

Such a broad range of roots music styles; trad English, modern Scottish, Americana. The first track is fabulous, took me right back to teenage years listening to Fairport. Hope it gets the recognition it deserves
