lyrics
Black horses in a yellow sky
A cloud of dust that has no end
Horses in a yellow sky
Are drawn into the whirlwind
They were blown like sticks and leaves
An awful dream, it woke me
The horses blown like sticks and leaves
It woke me, such a dream
White mare outside my window
Shone like the Morning Star
White mare outside my door
Exploded like the drums of war
Black horses in a wounded sky
Clouds of dust that have no end
Horses in a yellow sky
Are drawn into the whirlwind
The horses, scattered just like leaves
To every corner of the earth
Horses scattered just like leaves
It shook me, such a dream
Such a dream
Black horses in a yellow sky
Black horses in a yellow sky

I'm still a little blown away by the fact that one of my guitar influences released an instrumental guitar album on the same day as me and I didn't realize it.
But I've listened to it twice now and it gets better with every play.
In places it's like Syd Barret, Robby Krieger, and the Penguin Cafe Orchestra are having a jam session. Darren Douglas Danahy
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
