(09) Drovers’ Road

[mon]

can someone please share mp3 ?
I need to listen another MK song like One song at a time...

[GIUMK]

This song, after several plays, reminds me of Sands of Nevada, a little dark but with the usual electric guitar tone that surrounds the listener. Beautiful!

[mschaap]

Nice sounding song, contrary to most of the new songs up untill now I do not have an instant opinion about the strenght of it, need a couple of more listenings....

[Millionaire Blues]

May someone pm me the two new ones??

I really love this song. Thinking about the background vocals which are pretty much completely over the song, I realized just now that Kris Drever is credited for them. Can't remember much talk about it. I googled a bit. Is he well-known? Appearing just on this single song?

Did I say that I love this song?

Kris Drever is McCusker's pal: they collaborated on album Before the Ruin (which is great actually, if you like folk/folk-rock). He's from the same league as John & Mike, Phil Cunningham and so on. According to qobuz he is also presented on My Bacon Roll, however, I can't hear him on that track (maybe it's due to recording quality).

We were discussing recently the songs being Terminal Of Tribute 2, Junkie Doll 2, this seems like Kingdom Of Gold 2.
Which we know is one of the best live MK tracks in the last 10 years. And it can be well executed on live occasions.

Drovers Road would be a great one to swap with Haul Away live. Great song!!

[superval99]

Drover's Road is definitely for me!    It's a cross between Before Gas & TV  and Yon Two Crows and I would love to hear it played live! 

[Dutchessy]

Awesome song!

He really plays consequently that same riff from the beginning to the end. It takes a lot of artistic confidence to do so. At least at the outro I would have expected a little jump or variation. I like it a lot but would understand if people argue about it being repetitive, more as in Before Gas & TV.
The drums sound as in Wanderlust and in that 1996 live version from Water Of Love, I like that a lot.
Even being repetitive, this song has drive. I would call this one the only pure MK song so far, close to a masterpiece, together with A Song At A Time.

So why did you only give Drover's Road 7/10, LE?

[Love Expresso]

Did I?
