Flurries, Nothing Sticks

by Dusty Calloway

Winter nights, empty stadiums and wrong turns that lead somewhere kind.

Tracks

  1. 1. Flurries on the Interstate, Nothing SticksFlurries dancing in my high beams and melting on the blacktop like a half-remembered dream. I drove slow and kept the window cracked to hear it.winter rock, road ballad3:55
  2. 2. Empty Stadium, One Light Left BurningGates chained, lot bare, paper cups dancing in the cold, and one light left burning. I wrote it about a place that used to be loud.melancholy rock, empty-stadium ballad4:12
  3. 3. Easy Now, the Water's WideSix a.m. on a river ferry with the truck on the deck and the engine ticking. It's the calmest I've ever felt on a job.slow rock, river song3:57
  4. 4. Last Bus Missed, Long Walk HomeThe bar got loud, the night got mean, and I said words I can't take back. The long walk home is the only apology I had.rock ballad, regret song4:05
  5. 5. Fifty-Four and Starting Over in TulsaSold the old truck, kept the toolbox, left the key with a friend. Fifty-four is a fine age to start over somewhere flat.heartland rock, fresh-start song3:22
  6. 6. Dad's Truck Keys in a Dish by the DoorDad's truck keys sit in a dish by the door where he put them when the doctor said no more. I haven't had the heart to move them.tender rock, family ballad3:52

Liner notes

A cold-weather EP, cut in January with the studio heater struggling and everyone in coats. Flurries on the interstate, an empty stadium with one light left on, and a ferry crossing at dawn. I like a song best when it sounds like the weather it was made in.
