Oh I know I wasn't very good to you, but I wasn't that bad Now you're saying things that just aren't true and it makes me mad You see I've spent a lot of time, thinking about how you done me wrong You're the one that left me, left me in the dark so long Oh and I tried and I tried And I cried and I cried for you Oh there was a lot of things between us, a lot of things unsaid A lot of time that passed, a lot of ground was tread And though you washed your hands of all of it, turned your back and run There was never a time when it was fine, and I was never done Oh I tried and I tried And I cried and I cried for you Oh it was good to hear your voice, and how you really felt I feel better now that the lines are drawn and the cards are dealt Oh but I hope you will remember, and I hope you don't forget That when you walk away from unfinished things they turn into regret Oh I tried and I tried And I cried and I cried Oh I tried and I tried And I cried and I cried Oh I tried and I tried And I cried and I cried for you

If you're travelling to the North country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Remember me to the one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine See for me that her hairs hanging down It curls and falls all down her breasts See for me that her hair's hanging down That's the way I remember her best If you go where the snowflakes fall Where the rivers freeze and summer ends Please see for me that she's wearing a coat so warm To keep her from the howling winds If you're travelling to the north country fair Where the winds hit heavy on the borderline Please say hello to the one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine Ooohh Oohh Oohh Oohh Remember me to the one who lives there For she once was a true love of mine

It's a mighty hard road that my poor hand have hoed My poor feet have travelled on a hard dusty road Out of your dustbowl and westward we rode And your deserts were hot and your mountains were cold I worked in your orchards of peaches and prunes I slept on the ground in the light of the moon On the edge of the city, you'll see us and then We come with the dust and we go with the wind California, Arizona we harvest your crops Then it's up north to Oregon to harvest your hops Dig the beets from the ground, cut the grapes from your vine To set and your table your light sparkling wine Green pastures of plenty from dry desert ground From the grand Coulee dam where the water runs down Every state in the union, us migrants have been We'll work in this fight and we'll fight til we win Well it's always we ramble that river and I All along your green valley I'll work til I die My land I'll defend with my life if need be Cause my pastures of plenty must always be free hmmm hmm

about

Get Limited Edition Color Vinyl + Merch - www.bluebluebluemusic.com

Both hailing from Canada, Cat Clyde and Jeremie Albino are cut from the same musical cloth that fuses together elements of folk, blues, Americana, and soul. The result is a sound that exudes heart and a nostalgic feeling of days gone by. As fans of classic old school singers and storytellers like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Michael Hurley, that same compelling quality is seen in both their musical styles. When the pandemic hit and gigs were put on hold (among them,Telluride for Jeremie and Edmonton Folk Fest for Cat), it allowed both artists to focus on their craft, individually and collaboratively. The album features 2 original songs (“Been Worryin’” and “Tried and Cried”) and 7 covers of some of their favorite artists.

In 2018 when Cat and Jeremie met, there was an instant bond when they discovered their music tastes uncannily aligned. They both grew up listening to many of the same records and admired many of the same musicians. Clyde explains, “It’s nice to share that love of listening to something a hundred times and never getting sick of it. As a musician you travel around a lot and meet a lot of people, but when you meet someone that has a hunger for the same type of musical food, it’s really special.” Cat and Jeremie realized almost immediately that they wanted to collaborate.

Clyde decided to visit Albino’s country house in 2019. At the time they were both working on their own albums – that year Albino put out his first record, Hard Time, and Clyde released her second album, Hunters Trance – and they had been doing a lot of touring. It was a much-needed break from the pressure, and they were really able to let loose. Their morning routine consisted of playing a good record with breakfast and in the evening an all-night jam fest. An adapted cover of Blind Willie McTell’s blues classic “You [Was] Born To Die,” was recorded at Albino’s farm during that trip, and that was the tune that inspired them to create an entire record of songs they love by artists they admire. Choosing the songs came organically, as they dug into their collective music brains, sharing the pieces they have always loved. Though they both became busy again, there was always a lingering feeling that they needed to finish this album idea, and 2020 presented them with the time to carry through. While this past year sidelined a lot of plans for musicians, Cat and Jeremie hope that by getting together to make this album, their fans can connect to their love of life, close friendship, and great songs that were written long ago yet still feel relevant for these times.
