Details:
Drivinâ north, up a crooked highway,
All my troubles fast upon my heels,
I donât know just where Iâm goinâ
Iâm just ponderinâ on the lonely way I feelâ¦

What in the devil is wrong with the world that we must sing this lonesome song of heartache and frustration?

Jeremiah Clark and the Lighter Thieves are proud to announce the release of their new CD, âNorthâ, a beautiful set of troubled songs that blend and warp multiple styles and influences. Primarily an alt-country album, the songs of âNorthâ betray the influences of folk, Americana, rock ânâ roll, blues and a touch of jazz.

God bless the whiskey, with which I soothe my soul,
Sittinâ here on a fire escape, tryinâ to lose control,
Listeninâ to the business end of the best band Iâve ever witnessed,
Six-gun strapped across my chest
Lord, this quiet boy ainât pressedâ¦

Join the Lighter Thieves as they laugh and cry their way across the American landscape. Jeremiahâs songs hearken back to the early days of singer-songwriters, when folks sang about what they knew and we all saw ourselves in their images. His wife, Sharon, plays violin with a classical background, a love for folk music and a gift for songcraft. She also lends her gorgeous voice to many of the songs, including one of her own. Paul Clark has played bass longer than heâs been called Jeremiahâs pa, and his experience roots this band firmly on the ground, while his harmonies and mandolin soar through the sky. Sandy Kramer plays drums with a gift for subtlety, while never losing the backbeat. Jim Finch is one of only a handful of people on this planet to play dobro with such a transcendent style and finesse. These guys know what the hell theyâre doinâ, and theyâve only just begun.

Down in the holler at the end of the day
I let it out, hootinâ anâ snortinâ anâ dancinâ around
Thereâs no use puttinâ ourselves to shame
No use givinâ it all away
Just open up and let it outâ¦

âNorthâ is the second release from Jeremiah Clark and the Lighter Thieves. It is the result of over a yearâs effort, care and craft put into every note. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it for you.
