In walked an Anglo-Cherokee-Japanese skateboarder. “I’m Korey Dane, and you’re both acting like children.” He had ridden from Joshua Tree where his father was rebuilding a 1953 Chevy Hardtop. “I’ve put my board away, gentlemen, and I’ve picked up a guitar. I figure the board will never really let me say what I want to say, and frankly, nothing makes me cry like the 3 minor chord.” The table was cleared for a round of Old Pulteneys as Korey Dane began his tale of woe and redemption. “I’m twenty-five years old. My mother handed me East of Eden when Iwas twelve and I’ve never been the same since. Neither has she. Mom and Dad headed in opposite directions; academe called her name and Dad, well Dad drove into the desert until he ran out of gas. And there he hung his hat. I tumbled for a while...and grumbled. But four wheels brought me where I needed to go. I probably did a little too much of this and way too much of that, but that’s ok. I’m better for it. Lera says I’ve still got a long way to go. Hell, she’s from Ukraine, for Christ’s sake. She should know. “Luckily, I heard and saw some things; Tom Waits, Bruce Davidson, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Aaron Embry, The Beatles and the Stones, Blake Mills, Mark Gonzales, Karen Dalton, and the ‘Mats. Hitching across the country is like a 72-day answer to the question, ‘What’s the worst thing that could happen?’ Well, I’ve gathered a lot of answers to that question. But the bestthing that could happen was going around the country until I found myself back home. Listen to me. I’m Dorothy fucking Gale! “Home is where I decided to take a position. Orville Gibson and Ernie Ball were my earliest accomplices. The three of us were sequestered for a couple of years until we all agreed I needed to step outside. I played for a few friends and nobody hit me. I felt this might work out. “I rolled some Legend of 91 and got to work. A hundred songs...three of them decent. Then I slept for three days. Woke up and wrote a hundred more. This time, two of them were worthwhile. This wasn’t going well. After a while I met some folks. They were nice. They were encouraging. And they said, ‘Surely you can do better than this.’ They introduced me to a man—a cruel man—who made me do things no man should have to do. Scansion, modulation, chromaticism...he was mean and relentless. “But here I sit. Open to whatever comes. You’re both older gentlemen, now. Go home to your wives, your families. I feel ready.” The three of them went their respective ways. Prufrock and the Emperor are now long gone. Korey Dane is standing right outside your door.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJules Verne\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLet It Be Just For Fun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eI\u0026amp;#39;m Your Man\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLittle Dream\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePony \u0026amp;amp; The Kid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLouisiana Sundance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou\u0026amp;#39;ll Be Had\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThieves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlue Limping Phoenix (Seeds Of A Watermelon Heart)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeaven Won\u0026amp;#39;t Let Me In\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Lion \u0026amp;amp; The Keeper\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"503","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":50559200723240,"sku":"81087402119","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0933\/3833\/7576\/files\/2977919.jpg?v=1763983185","url":"https:\/\/waterloorecords.com\/products\/dane-korey-youngblood-lp-1087402119","provider":"Waterloo Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
