I think it's time for me to settle down
Raise me a family out in some little town
With an American Woman, one who treats me right
Well, American Woman, where can I find one tonight?
Cause I don't want no LA queen
I want something real, if you know what I mean
I want 'Merican Woman, who knows her wrong from right
Well, American Woman, I think I'm seeing the light
A honky tonk angel who sings like a bird
Tells me loving things that I never heard
Born and bred in the US of A
American Woman, take my freedom away
I like a woman who wants to laugh and get drunk
And I don't mind a little junk in the trunk
If you're 'Merican Woman and you can dance all night
Well, American Woman, where can I see you tonight?
And I don't want no Paris dame
Cause after a while, they all sound the same
I want 'Merican Woman, a girl who knows how to fight
Well, American Woman, I think I'm seeing the light

Nobody But You

Early one morning I was laying in bed
Felt like a freight train running over my head
As I awoke, what else could I do?
I had to get out there and I had to find you
Oh, the hard way. Yes, I learn things the hard way
Walking alone in the drizzling rain
Found my way to passenger train
Down at the station, that's when you appeared
Somehow you knew it, that I needed you near
So you found me. Yeah, baby, you found me
And you said, don't wanna love nobody but you
All of my life, I've turned love away
Said I'll be going, instead of I'll stay
But everything's different now that you come along
I'm doing it right this time, I won't get it wrong
Cause I found you. Yeah, baby, I found you
And I said, don't wanna love nobody but you

Long Lonely Winter

Passing through Brownsfield, western Texas
Stopping for the night in Santa Fe
Something 'bout the moonlight in the desert
Can cut right through your life so many ways
By the time I reach the waters of the Northwest
I'll let the rain come wash these tears away
Gonna be a long lonely winter
Where the sun don't shine or light the day
And you keep on pretending
That there's nothing standing in your way
They call this road the Million Dollar Highway
The mountains there will take your breath away
You're daydreaming 'bout a waitress in Durango
And the smile that she gave you as she waved
So you drive on through the night to get to Salt Lake
Where the sunrise can't break through the frozen haze
Well, I'm thinking 'bout the time we spent in Austin
Running through the reasons I should've stayed
But lonely is a feeling so familiar
And all my life I've carried 'round its weight
The snowfall of Snoqualmie hits my windshield
And the echoes of your love just fade away

Bended Knee
04:10

I came upon a long forgotten quarry
Where the limestone was filled with memories
At the edge I heard a song, it said you were sorry
For what had become of you and me
I found myself in a freefall to the sea
To the lighthouse, I called out "Baby, please"
But you closed the door, as I washed ashore
And so I return on bended knee
You know I wonder if you're lonesome tonight
I wonder a lot of things. Mostly, how we ever drifted apart
But last night the ghost of Elvis came to visit me
And he said, "Freddy, I can see how much you love her
And I can see how much you care
So sing this song and she'll come back to you."
But I found a path I thought would lead to you
Through brambles and darkness of the trees
I heard your laughter, but it was just a dream
And so I return on bended knee

Freddy Luongo Seattle, Washington
From epic road songs to tear-stained tales of heartache, from Texas-style rockers to dark-humored murder ballads, Freddy Luongo's songwriting covers a lot of musical and emotional territory in a twisted attempt at reviving the glory days alt-country of Whiskeytown, The Jayhawks, Dwight Yoakam, Uncle Tupelo, and Steve Earle. ... more
Freddy Luongo recommends:
My new favorite album of the year blends honest and direct alt-country/Americana songwriting with powerful vocals and psychedelic rock'n'roll dynamics that sets it far apart from the genericana crowd.
go to album
The Crying Shame is one of the best bands in Seattle blending country, garage rock, and mind-altering string arrangements into a unique and powerful sound that you won't find anywhere else.
go to album
Good, honest alt-country rock & roll from one of Seattle's best live bands.

Stoner rock/metal with a classic rock filter with intelligence. Great song and timing structures, heavy, big catchy riffs. Vocals are in the level. This album definitely has more of an edge compared to their follow-up album, but it's not even fair to compare one album with another of the same artist when they evolve. Can't go wrong at all picking either/or both albums up here on Ripple 💀💀💀 😵😵😵
