Love Wounds & Mars

• Tracklisting

From the Southern Rock of 'Nowhere Road' to the Tex-Mex simplicity of 'Border Town' to the last dance of 'Peaceful When You Sleep' to the semi-psych of 'Like a Haze' to the Chris Cullhane-penned sleeper 'Diamond Mask,' Keith Morris and crew hit on all sonic and emotional cylinders. "Love Wounds & Mars" is a personal statement from a very private individual. It only takes a few listens to understand that. --Frank Gutch, Jr No Depression Keith Morris...pours the grizzled wisdom of life's journey into a project that tells a story from beginning to end. From the opening lyric, 'I know it's late...' of "Nowhere Road," through the closing plea as it bleeds through the pedal steel of "Diamond Mask":  'I need to hear a railroad song, I need to hear...," Morris crafts songs that inspire and cut through the din. Anyone that can pull off a lyric that includes '...from Carlos Castaneda to William Blake...' is my new hero. --Aer Stephen DJ, "Folk and Beyond," WTJU.
