Not played on a CBG, but I thought I would post it anyway since it will be on a largely CBG album. A song about the coming changes with the end of the petroleum age.If you like it, please press the facebook like button to help me build my site!

@bemuzic - Albums are coming out in August, I hope! I am having trouble getting good quality recordings of the gitfiddle, so I need to work that out until its a bit better.
@Keni Lee -- yeah, you're right, but I am actually making two different albums. One is roots & blues, and the other is folk and socially conscious music.
Very nice, but as you are already aware, it steps pretty far from your previous CBG work. I would encourage you to consider making your CD consistent on theme. As always thanks for sharing. Enjoy.
Thanks for the words of encouragement! Here are the lyrics, for the folks that were asking:
The Turning
C Em They say there's nothing new, under the sun Am F Nothing doing down here that ain't been done But the way it is, and the way it was Is not the way it'll be because Things are different now, something's changed Divine plans have been rearranged
I know a picture speaks with potent force But we can't paint a future course No dogs are barking in the night And we all know that things aren't right But we can't hear a trumpet sound And we can't tell where this ship is bound
Will it be a field of sorrow, a field of dreams Or a field of opportunity? Is it our time of life, or the time of man Is it time to act or time to plan? Can you hear a voice? Can you touch the stone? Can you say the words to bring it home?
C G F O, say, can you see O, say, can you see
Well I'm older now, I don't know how I can feel the change comin' down You and me, we've seen it all But we don't know if its a turn or fall Will we bear witness? Will we be gone? Will we learn some truth, or pass some on?
