Up on the Ridge I seen a rider passin' by
Up on the Ridge I seen a rider passin' by
I heard thunder in the distance
I seen lightning in his eye

Up on the Ridge I gotta tangle with my fate
Up on the Ridge I gotta tangle with my fate
Details must be dealt with
before the hour gets too late

Up on the Ridge there's a highway headin' home
Where the ramblin' men must leave their sin
Up on the Ridge

Up on the Ridge there's a fire about to burn
Up on the Ridge there's a fire about to burn
When the sun sets on the Lowlands, only one of us will return

Up on the Ridge there's a highway headin' home
Where the ramblin' men must leave their sin
Up on the Ridge

Excellent musicianship, but it sounds like elevator music.


A bit of an oxymoron there, whomever posted this, since excellent musicianship and elevator music sort of don't go together. 

Anyway, I'll ride that elevator if that guitar is along for the ride.

Yeah, some other guy, Buddy-something, was from Lubbock. One of his bandmates was from Littlefield, only 15 min away. That guy had a pretty decent career too.

Not to mention C.B.'Stubbs' Stubblefield, bbq master extraordinaire...

Must be something in the water. That, or there is nothing else to do in Lubbock...

ANOTHER first here at R.P.  I love that guitar run. I've heard a lot like it, but this one seems to cook at slightly higher temperature.

Lot of good righteous anger in this song. Very passionate. Thanks Joe.

I loved the mix with Flamenco Surf

Can you play Ely\'s Musta Notta Gotta Lotta? Can\'t rememer if it\'s on this CD or one of his other greats.

Bill: another stellar choice. This is a guy who\'s been making quality music for 30 years. Thanks for the thrill.

I like the haunting, open prairie tableau this song paints.
