This is Southern Man level of genius.

I saw cotton and I saw black
Tall White Mansions and Little Shacks
Southern Man when will you
pay them Back
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long, how long?


Lily Belle your hair is golden brown
I've seen your black man, coming round.
Swear by God I'm going to cut him down.
I heard screaming and bullwhips cracking
How long , how long?


The Neil Young guitar at the end of each verse and The Chicks pause are somewhat similar, PAUSE, .... THINK!

Both truly amazing.

Music is such a powerful tool of protest.

Wish we had 10,000 independent radio stations like we used to.

The beat is so hypnotic. So far the new album sounds just as good as older albums like “Wide Open Spaces,” “Fly” and “Home.”

Great piece from the group and I think Rufus dog is right--that pause is nothing short of brilliant.
