A tom waits style romp. Mike banging on a metal plate, julie playing the accordion, and me on the tremolo guitar. One of my very favorite songs we have ever done. Biting lyrics, and strange sounds!!

Whiskey and Blood Lyrics by Mike Mccaffrey
Music by Duane Hultin
Broken records that we played
The secret vows we betrayed
Cheap wine and crooked games
In the days' we weren't afraid
Now i got a black suitcase of cash somehow
a shotgun that used to be a plow
sixty six minutes are packed in every hour
and a stolen fist full of power
But i'm missing a friend and a wedding ring
i tore my anklet made of mustang string
got tattooed by a scorpion sting
my voice is cracked and i cant sing
And if that's not enough
The stuff keeps pouring out of me
I thought was whiskey
but now i know it's blood
We broke kentucky derby speed
Grew sunflowers from a demon seed
Never kneeled down to believe
We spun our nightmares into dreams
Now iv'e crossed my fifteen minutes of fame
Got my lions and my demons tamed
won a gold pass into heaven so i don't need to pray
But i'm still dreaming of those smoking trains
When you didn't show down in riverside
i bent two nickels and i swallowed my pride
I did it again to call you twice
Right before my last suicide
That should have been enough
But that stuff that keeps pouring out of me
I thought was whiskey
Now i know it's blood. red whiskey and blood

The slashing roots rock on “Out On the Line” always makes its way to the kind of triumphant chorus that quickens the pulse. Bandcamp New & Notable Apr 2, 2023
