PDD Such a brilliant album. The vocal tracks are so strong and such a surprise (at least to me) because I previously knew Harrison as "just" a fabulous and innovative guitarist. Favorite track: Walk The Good Road.

Peace Love and Gratitude The year of fear Dark angels calling’= The owl at dusk The death of trust And out of it rising A thirst for surviving Another breath another day Peace Love and Gratitude I need a little more, more everyday Peace Love and Gratitude I need a little more Oh how we miss you Still can’t believe you’re gone We had more miles to go, more songs Black-hearted thoughts The accumulation of loss No more blues I’m asking for something new Chorus Raindrops in a bucket The cry of children on a hill The kind words of a stranger Gratitude is contagious Love wants to invade us Peace hides in plain sight Peace Love and Gratitude

One More Day 04:44
One More Day Give me one more day To do what I got to do Give me one more day To get a little closer to you The river is wide but I can see the other side Give me one more day Give me one more day To make this building strong Give me one more day To try to mend what I did wrong It’s rotten inside but the medicine just arrived Give me one more day Everyone needs a little mercy Give me one more day To get my feet on the road Give me one more day To go where the cool winds blow I’ll meet you at the gate Don’t be late Give me one more day Everyone needs a little mercy Give me one more day To do what I got to do Give me one more day To get a little closer to you The river is wide but I can see the other side Give me one more day One more Day One more day Celebrate

Everything I touch seems to break We’re all so fragile Waking up with peace on my mind And going into battle Tried to talk to a friend today But the wound goes so deep What he’s calling progress sounds like Hypocrisy People shouting at each other No one seems to listen Wrong is right and right is wrong Facts turn into fiction Easy to know what you want Hard to get what you need Easy to call wisdom Your own belief Everything is broken I can’t find the fix Everything is broken I know the size but it won’t fit I don’t know what’s going on I don’t know when we will ever get along Out of many one they say They print it on the dollar Here we are in a new civil war And it makes me want to holler So easy to get locked up So hard to be free The older I get the more I crave Simplicity Everything is broken I can’t find the fix Everything is broken I know the size but it won’t fit I don’t know what’s going on I don’t know when we will ever get along I just hope that we can finally get along There must be a common purpose Below the surface There must be a common purpose A connection A direction All nations My relations

Cry 03:50
Cry Sometimes you got to cry Respect your heart and treat it right Maybe the tears will bring the light You can lay your head on my shoulder We all got to surrender sometimes Ain’t no shame in breakin’ down Let it go let it ride Cry Sometimes you got to cry Respect your heart, treat it right Maybe the tears will bring the light Cry, cry, cry Lose a lover say goodbye to a friend Lose your job and can’t pay the rent I’ve walked these streets just like you Tryin’ to hold the pain in and fight my way through Cry Sometimes you got to cry Respect your heart, treat it right Maybe the tears will bring the light Cry, Cry Cry

Oh My Friend It's time to say Goodbye To lay you down Let your spirit fly Now the world seems a little colder We'll get over But it's gonna take time So Long Brother So Long So Long Brother So Long Now the angels Are playing a 12 bar blues Staying up all night to welcome you Down here there's an empty chair on the stage Words of praise and a song of gratitude So Long Brother So Long So Long Brother So Long I'll meet you where the wild winds blow I'll meet you where the deep waters flow On that open stretch of the long road But Now I've got to let you go So Long Brother So Long So Long Brother So Long

Let Me Be a Light When I cast the first stone As if truth were mine alone Show me the light, the light of this world When I wound or betray Turn to violence or hate Show me the light, the light of this world Let me be Someone you can lean on Let me be Someone you depend on ‘Cause I’m tired of turning away I’m just another person who’s broken But my heart is still open Trying to find Find a better way When I live in the richest country Where millions of people go hungry Show me the light, the light of this world When the waters begin to rise And the helpless can’t survive Show me the light, the light of this world I’ve spent enough time being blind Now my heart is open wide And the messenger is standing at the door Show me Show me Show me Show me Show me the light, the light of this world Gotta look out for each other, gotta care for one another No more violence and hate, love every day

Poison 04:18
Poison Plastic in the ocean Lead in the water Smoke in the sky and Blood on the land Shoutin’ and cursin’ Framin’ and denyin’ Pushin’ and beatin’ and Back-stabbin’ lyin’ You say east, I say west Let me speak my piece, No, I know best The air the sea, the land the sky The mail the screen the news every night Poison Too much Poison Poison Too much Poison Get out the mask Get out the gloves Don’t breathe too deep Don’t get too close No hugs no kisses, Nobody sings We’re all scared of everything You say right, I say left Let me talk to you, No I know best Temperature rising, Children dying We’re losing our hearts and falling apart Poison Too much Poison Poison Too much Poison Poison we can’t even see All we touch and all we breathe Poison in our minds How will we all survive? Poison, Too much poison

Walk The Good Road Walk The Good Road Long and narrow Each step Respect Walk The Good Road Through the shadows In thought and deed Walk in peace Om naryana Om naryana Shanti Om Om naryana Om naryana Shanti Om Walk the Good Road The path of mercy Cross the canyon Towards the beauty Walk the Good Road

about

The Stardust Reunion Band is a vocal-centered record featuring four of New York city’s greatest singers, Everett Bradley, Nicki Richards, and Keith Fluitt, and Amanda Homi. The songs draw from R&B, jazz, rock, gospel, and much else, and feature a who’s who crew including Josh Dion (dr. and voice), Chulo Gatewood (bass), John Cowherd (keys), James Brandon Lewis (sax), and Jerry Marotta and Jamey Haddad (percussion.) The songs, all-groove-based, both lament and uplift with tear-your-heart out performances by vocalists and instrumentalists alike.

The lyrics speak of seizing the day, conflict and poison, mortality, and unity. It is a very personal work, and to me, one of the most powerful and universal of my 25 releases.
