BRIEF DESC. :  This is an adaptation of "Nightmare Age," one of my punk songs. I was playing with ACID Music one day, and discovered that Nightmare Age worked really well as a bluesy, country song. This is how it would have sounded if Bob Dylan had written it.

  Lyrics
Welcome to the world of the rotting hare, Alice woke up to a chemichal nightmare, the Duchess and the Queen hide the Knave of Tarts as the World goes to war over radioactive tarts Welcome to the world of the Nightmare Age, politics and passion take the center stage poverty and sickness right behind the door, and it doesn't really matter who you're voting for it's a Nightmare Age Nightmare Age it's the master plan, as you buy your dreams from a chemichal salesman, living is illusion but the pain is the same, nothing makes sense when you live in a chess game. Nightmare Age now you're up to bat, as you play croquet with the Cheshire Cat, he's got money and he's got style as he disappears behind a beautiful smile. And it's a Nightmare Age Nightmare Age it's election year, time for money and plastic cheer, kiss the babies, make them cry, take your places, lie, lie, lie. Hide behind the flag it'll get you the vote, don't say a lot of things that'll rock the boat, don't make promises, avoid the fight, and everybody votes for the classier soundbyte. It's a Nightmare Age
 
  Full Description
It's pretty frightening, I know. Essentially I took the drum and bass line from the re-recorded version of Nightmare Age and added two or three blues and country-ish guitar loops. It's scary how well it turned out.

Review:   Take one part country blues, one part deadly serious lyrics and a punk attitude, mix and you have The Baptist Death Ray's Nightmare Age on the Delta. I've heard this in it's original form, which was a punk meets roots rock tune. When BDR started playing with Acid (the software, not the drug) this permutation was what he came up with. And it is good. There is a sense of irony and quiet immediacy that is expected in punk but not always in quieter songs such as this.
But it's there and in some ways more disquieting.
Not only is this a good tune but it's a good stepping stone to more BDR work which is several steps more agressive but every bit as musical.
Grab this one.

Review:   Rockabilly lends itself to this very nicely? Or should I say Pshyco-billy? Schockabilly? NOPE! Rockabilly.

Great guitar playing earns ya a 10 every time!

UPDATE! I was just notified that it is all LOOPS! HEH Well this STILL gets a 10 for foolin me! Y'all!
