    An acetate is a one of a kind cut that is used for the artist to be able to hear the record before approving the cut. This is different from a test pressing, and comes earlier in the process. There is ONLY ONE of these in existence. It should be noted that this is a collectors item, and that repeated plays will result in degradation of the disc. There are 2 total discs in this item - one for Side A and one for Side B

Hagler 03:24
Hit me again I am not going down I'm gonna make it through these last two rounds my eyes are blurred and I got this ringing sound If I don't fall I'll still do my Daddy Proud You're gonna win, but I'm gonna fight again I got a girl and she hits so hard Like Marvin Hagler drunk in a bar She took my keys and smashed my car She broke my will then broke my heart She's gonna win, but I'm gonna fight again Hit me again I've got a fighter's chin With seven losses and just two wins Watch me sway like a tree in the wind Hit me again and watch me grin You're gonna win, but I'm gonna fight again I duck and weave, try to believe, the day will come for a man like me I'm turning gray, I feel it getting away, I close my eyes and I still hear my Daddy say You're gonna win, but I'm gonna fight again

The Way Home 02:34
I don't know the way to get back, I don't know the way I don't know the way, I don't know the way Do you know the way to get back, do you know the way Do you know the way back, do you know the way?

Angels 04:23
Well I believe in Angels you can see Well I believe in Angels you can see They're just like you and me, they're walking down the street Just like you and me they're walking down the street So I try to keep my eyes open to see I try to keep my eyes open to see Well I believe in Angels

Sky grows dark over me Riding on a Hurricane down to the sea Time has passed now for us to leave Comes a storm like we've never seen Tallest trees gonna get laid low The devil rides his tornado God above can't hear us shout We're just gon have to ride this out Thunder claps like an atomic bomb Can't stand up in wind so strong Picks you up like you're barely there There's movement in the crowd, and movement in the air

Dayton, OH 03:50
Did not like the way things were And I don't like the way they are I let it get away Let it go to far I'm cold underneath the sun The wind it blows Get blinded by the moon It's just too low Dayton Ohio The colors don't look too bright but I'm alive and I'm gonna try to make another run Dayton Ohio The colors don't look so bright The movements old The time just disappears Or goes so slow This town feels mostly dead But I'm alive So come down on the floor With me and drive Dayton Ohio The colors don't look too bright but I'm alive and I'm gonna try to make another run Dayton Ohio

My old hen she's a good old hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes one sometimes two That ain't enough for the whole damn crew Cluck hen cluck and sing Ain't seen an egg since late last spring Cluck hen cluck and squall Ain't seen an egg since late last fall Old hen I'm telling you Your hours are growing few Make use of what you've got Cause tonight you're in the pot My old hen she's a good old hen She lays eggs for the railroad men Sometimes eight sometimes ten That's enough for the railroad men

The pale white rider was first seen A few miles out by the old ravine She must have rode in with the breeze She must have rode in from the east I've been here for seventeen years I keep to myself, live down by the pier People here think that I'm nothing to fear The people round here have no idea Now I am the man that you don't want to see When the sun goes down and the kids are asleep I help lost souls to find the light But the rider she's coming both pale and white The rider she's coming pale and white The rider she's coming but I've still Got tonight

I feel the church coming on I feel the church coming on oh yeah!! I was awake until the dawn I was awake until the dawn All right!! Lay down satan lay down your arms Lay down Satan you can't do me no harm LAY DOWN SATAN!!

I'll be around No shadow no sound I'll be around That evening breeze Moving the leaves That's really me I feel your love Up here above Your love is enough Please don't feel pain When you hear my name ‘Cause I'm still the same

about

Recorded by Juniana Lanning and John Shepski at Fluff and Gravy over the spring of 2018, the album finds the band challenging the stereotypes once again. Producer, John Shepski, and mixing engineer, John Askew (Richmond Fontaine, Laura Gibson, Wild Flag) teamed up to drive the Hillstomp sound into more experimental territory. The drums and guitar are pushed to the limit on screamers like “Hagler” and “Snake Eagle Blues”, while the gentler sounds in “I’ll Be Around” and “Dayton, Ohio” seem to stop time for a few minutes. Featuring guest appearances by Anna Tivel on violin, Erik Clampitt (Hook & Anchor) on pedal steel, and David Lipkind (I Can Lick Any Son of a Bitch in the House) on harmonica, the record flows seamlessly between grungy folk, garage rock, and tender ballads. Dare I say that there’s even a disco/funk number buried in there that feels right at home.
