I like wide spaces and hot wild wind You blew through me so I could think Carved out my drought so I could drink I like bright colors and quirks of fate Survivors of the wreck of time I'll save your heart and you'll save mine I will keep you safe And you will keep me wild And we'll conspire to smile Long field of adventure Give away to the sea What a simple gift it is just to be Sometimes execution gets away from me, gets away from me I will keep you safe And you will keep me wild And we'll conspire to smile Keep me safe and I'll keep you wild I'll smile Keep me safe and I'll keep you wild I'll Smile Keep me safe and I'll keep you wild Conspire, conspire, conspire to smie

Amplified Messiah I was waiting for my messiah With a drummer named Jebediah Amplified desire In the halls of a queen I was waiting for my messiah With a drummer named Jebediah Amplified desire In the halls of a queen The city of souls Its rough and its old And it's all but saintly I just stopped to get fed And was shocked when they said Have you met your maker lately? I was waiting for my messiah With a drummer named Jebediah Amplified desire In the halls of a queen Harmonious voice Fade and free choice It's causing a bout of numbness In the engine of dreams There's an Israeli queen She bowed her head when she sung this Woo woo You've been waiting for a while Woo woo But you're waiting in style I was waiting for my messiah With a drummer named Jebediah Amplified desire In the halls of a queen

People Get Ready People, get ready There's a train a-coming You don't need no ticket You just get on board All you need is faith To hear the diesels humming Don't need no ticket You just thank the Lord People get ready For the train to Jordan Picking up passengers From coast to coast Faith is the key Open the doors and board them There's room for all Amongst the loved the most There ain't no room For the hopeless sinner Who would hurt all mankind Just to save his own Have pity on those Whose chances are thinner 'Cause there's no hiding place From the kingdom's throne

What about the one heart? One Heart! What about - ? Let's get together and feel all right As it was in the beginning (One Love!) So shall it be in the end (One Heart!) All right!

The Weight I pulled into Nazareth, was feeling 'bout half past dead I just need some place where I can lay my head Hey, mister, can you tell me, where a man might find a bed? He just grinned and shook my hand, "No" was all he said. Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me I picked up my bags, I went looking for a place to hide When I saw old Carmen and the Devil, walking side by side I said, "Hey, Carmen, c'mon, let's go downtown" She said, "I gotta go, but my friend can stick around" Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me Go down, Miss Moses, ain't nothin' you can say It's just old Luke, and Luke's waiting on the judgment day Well, Luke, my friend, what about young Annalee He said, "Do me a favor, son, won't you stay and keep Annalee company" Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me Crazy Chester followed me, and he caught me in the fog Said, "I will fix your rag, if you'll take Jack, my dog" I said, "Wait a minute Chester, you know, I'm a peaceful man" He said, "That's okay, boy, won't you feed him when you can" Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me Catch the cannonball, now to take me down the line My bag is sinking low, and I do believe it's time To get back to Miss Fanny, you know she's the only one Who sent me here, with her regards for everyone Take a load off Fanny, take a load for free Take a load off Fanny, and you put the load right on me

This Land Is Your Land This land is your land, this land is my land From the California to the New York island From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway And saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me I roamed and rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts And all around me , a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling In the wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling The voice was chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me This land is your land and this land is my land From the California to the New York island From the Redwood Forest, to the gulf stream waters This land was made for you and me When the sun comes shining, then I was strolling In wheat fields waving and dust clouds rolling The voice come chanting as the fog was lifting This land was made for you and me

THE CONSPIRATORS:
This album is a celebration of you and the power that each of us has in the telling of our shared story. It's a reminder that we all have way more in common than not. Our little community is geographically distributed but plugged into and connected through the stretched out the soul of rock and roll. This is an opportunity to lean into our collective lore and #ConspireToSmile - if even but for a moment.

THE FOLKS:
The process for making this record was truly collaborative. It brings together the talent, charisma, time and sweeping spirit of some two dozen musicians. These are characters with loud awareness and screaming guitars. People with old souls and ancient Stratocasters. They're personalities who by definition go-to-11 and if you're reading this - so to must you. Most importantly these Folks are my friends for whom I have a deep affection and admiration, my musical co-conspirators, my tribe, whose imagination and creativity moves me and soothes me and drives me forward.
