Inspired by a real dapper dressed older gentleman at the Zydeco dance at Eagles Hall, who barely moved his feet but could lead you effortlessly in a stellar dance. Sometimes the most beautiful dancers are the ones who’ve just never stopped, who know that’s what keeps you alive. A tribute to all those who keep dancing.
lyrics
CH in your pretty little dress with your eyes so bright
come dance with me tonight
take my hand, fly away
move it or you lose it and i ain’t gonna lose it today
old man in the middle of a crowd
his eyes are heavy, music’s too loud
we all get old, we all slow down
tonight he’s gonna dance around
he tightens the tie, lace up the boots
ride the 24 down the same old route
It’s Friday night, the hall’s aglow
come on dance with Mr Joe
CH
Mr Joe’s got it all going on
he won’t hold you too close or too long
his hands are clean, his eyes are closed
hold on, kick back, let the good times roll
When its all he can do he put the suit back on
pays his tab, calls a cab, city rushes on
Mr Joe, he floats above
he’s filled up with love
CH

The polyrhythmic heat and funk of Evie Ladin's clawhammer banjo, resonant voice, real stories and rhythmic dance - have been
heard from A Prairie Home Companion to Celtic Connections, Lincoln Center to Hardly Strictly Bluegrass. The Evie Ladin Band is an expansive stringband, with Keith Terry - bass and percussion, and Erik Pearson - guitar. Body-slappin neo-trad urban folk....more
Powerful collection rooted in the stories that must be re-told. Played by some of the most generous community music people I’ve met during my foray into Old Time music.
This CD is a keeper! Ellen B. (Elly) Marshall
I have listened to bluegrass and old-timey style banjo music for many years. Nora Brown has the most poetic interpretation of these styles that I have heard so far. She is the John Fahey of banjo (but also with striking vocals). brit_b
Great choice of music, expertly played and sung. Nicely produced. I hope to see The Onlies live, asap. This is an album I listen to over and over. Karamogo
Bright and skipping songs that foreground the sound of the banjo and fingerstyle guitar in music that feels timeless. Bandcamp New & Notable Oct 5, 2020
Sweet harmonies & strummed melodies; the duo delve into decades-old folk, jazz, and country to find a timeless kind of love and connection. Bandcamp New & Notable May 23, 2018
