January 22, 2019 Man in Black...Before Memphis - Vocal & Lyrics by Tony Harris - Guitars & MusicScape by Riff Beach
A tribute to Johnny Cash before he became famous.
Spoken Words/Lyrics by Tony Harris
Guitars, MusicScape & Mix by Riff Beach
HE SAID NOTHIN' EVER WRITTEN
ABOUT HIM TOLD IT RIGHT
AND JOHNNY'S HEART BEAT
WITH A RHYTHM OF LOVE
HE WAS A VOICE FOR THE POOR
BELOVED BY HIPPIES, HOMEMAKERS
AND A LOT OF PREACHERS
MAN, WHAT A STORYTELLER
HE SUFFERED MANY THINGS
THAT THE WORKIN' MAN DID
WAS BOTH EXTRAORDINARY
AND HE WAS ORDINARY
GROWING UP ON A FARM
THE DIRT SHAPED HIS MUSIC
WAS WHAT COUNTRY WAS ABOUT
ALL COULD RELATE TO HIM
HIS LIFE AS A CHILD
WAS COTTON THEY SAY
HIS LIFE AS AN ADULT
WAS MUSIC YOU SEE
THEY SAY HIS DADDY
DIDN'T SHOW MUCH LOVE
THAT'S NOT FOR ME TO SAY
ONLY HIS FAMILY KNOWS
HIS BROTHER HAD A VISION
OF HEAVEN WHEN HE DIED
AT THE AGE OF FIFTEEN
HAD A BIG EFFECT ON HIM
A MAN FULL OF EMOTION
AND FULL OF EXPRESSION
JOINED THE AIRFORCE IN 1950
BEST WAY OUT OF THE COTTON FIELDS
WHERE HE BOUTHT HIS FIRST GUITAR
AND FORMED HIS FIRST BAND
RADIO HAD BEEN HIS LIFE LINE
WHEN HE LIVED ON THE FARM
AFTER HIS DISCHARGE
HE FOLLOWED HIS BROTHER
WHO HAD ALREADY MOVED
TO MEMPHIS TENNESSEE
WORKED AS A SALESMAN
FOR A LITTLE WHILE
CAMPED OUT AT THE FRONT DOOR
OF THE ONE AND ONLY SUN RECORDS
SAM PHILLIPS LATER SAID
NOBODY HE'D HEARD SOUNDED LIKE HIM
GOT TO MEET ELVIS AND JERRY LEE
THE REST MY FRIEND...IS HISTORY

Lyrics by Tony Harris (listed below) - Featuring Riff Beach
Remix of vocals and music by Riff Beach December 2018 (c)
WE KNOW MUSCLE SHOALS
THEY HAD THE SWAMPERS
THEY HAD MUSIC IN THEIR SOULS
MAN, THEY WERE KEEPERS
THEY CAME FROM FAR AND NEAR
LOOKING FOR THAT SWEET SOUND
TO UNDERSTAND YOU HAD TO LIVE HERE
THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
CAUSE THEY WERE BAMA BOUND
Chorus
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THEY GO HAND AND HAND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUSCLE SHOALS SOUND
TENNESSEE RIVER AND MUSIC
THAT MUDDY WATER BRINGS OUT THE BEST
YEA, IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST
THEY EVEN CAME FROM FAR AWAY
TO GRAB THAT SOUND
MAN, THEY SURE HAD SOME FUN
LAYING THEM TRACKS DOWN
IT AIN'T NASHVILLE, HOSS... NEW YORK OR LA.
SOMETHING ABOUT THAT MUD
ROLLING DOWN THAT RIVER EVERYDAY
MUSIC WAS THEIR ANCHOR
(REPEAT CHORUS )

December 07, 2018 Cousin Wayne - Original raw version by Tony
I was thinking about my cousin Wayne and decided to write a song about him. This is a very quick one take recording. Lyrics, Vocal & Guitar by Tony.
HIS MAMA DIED AT CHILD BIRTH
HIS DADDY DIED IN WORLD WAR II…….
BORN HARD OF HEARING
HE HAD A PROBLEM OR TWO
RAISED BY HIS GRAND PARENTS
THAT DIDN'T SHOW MUCH LOVE…….
TIMES THEY WERE HARD
HAD SOME HELP FROM GOD ABOVE
(CHORUS)
COUSIN WAYNE….COUSIN WAYNE
HOW I MISS COUSIN WAYNE…….
ALWAYS JOKIN'….ALWAYS SMILIN'
LIFE NEVER BROUGHT HIM DOWN
LIFE NEVER BROUGHT HIM DOWN
BEING FIVE YEARS OLDER
I LOOKED UP TO HIM……..
LOVED THEM FAST CARS
BURNIN' THEM TIRES
HAD A LITTLE RED TRUCK
ALWAYS HOTRODIN'………
EVERY FRIDAY NIGHT
HE WAS DRAG RACIN'
(REPEAT CHORUS)
WHEN GRANDMA GAVE UP
HE MET A GIRL FROM BULL MOUNTAIN…….
LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT
TIME TO PARK THE LITTLE RED TRUCK
THEY WERE SOON MARRIED
BOTH ARE GONE NOW
THE BULL MOUNTAIN GIRL
ROCKED WAYNE'S WORLD
(REPEAT CHORUS )

November 09, 2018 Born In The Country #2 (Original by Tony)
I spliced parts of two of my original songs together and came up with this little country track. Words, Vocal and Guitar by Tony.
DADDY STOPPED FARMING
WHEN I WAS SEVEN YEARS OLD
CAN'T MAKE NO MONEY
HOEIN' THEM ROWS

STARTED BUILDING HOUSES
IN A NEAR BY TOWN
MAMA WAS SO THANKFUL
FOR THE JOB HE'D FOUND

I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY
NINE MILES FROM TOWN
DIRT ROADS AND PINE TREES
SCATTERED ALL AROUND

NO BIG HOUSE OR FANCY CAR
DOWN ON OUR LUCK
ALL MY DADDY HAD TO DRIVE
WAS HIS OLD PICK-UP TRUCK

I STILL LIVE IN THE COUNTRY
NINE MILES FROM TOWN
DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW
THE PINES ARE STILL AROUND

WOKE UP EVERY MORNIN'
TO THE SOUND OF DADDY PLAYIN'
SONGS FROM HIS HEART
ON HIS OLD WORN HARP

PLAYED THEM LONESOME TRAIN SONGS
THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO SING ALONG
HOW HE STARTED HIS DAY
THEN HE WAS ON HIS WAY

I WAS BORN IN THE COUNTRY
NINE MILES FROM TOWN
DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW
THE TREES ARE STILL AROUND

THE DIRT ROADS ARE PAVED NOW
THE TREES ARE STILL AROUND

November 02, 2018 Shades Of The Past - Lyrics by Tony & Riff - Featuring Riff Beach - Original
Shades of The Past ©
(Original - Harris/Beach)
Took the Scenic Route
Through the mountains of Tennessee
With two hours more to go
Such sites you’ll soon see
Couldn’t help but notice
While enjoying The Drive
Abandoned Places along the Way….
That are no longer alive
Chorus
Shades of The Past
That’s just what they are…
Shades of The Past
Like a Free-Fallin’ Star
Shades of The Past
That’s all they really are
They’re nothing but a Faded Memory
Just like a Free-Fallin’ Star
Bridge
Seasons Come
And, Seasons Go
Just do your Best
Let your heart-light Show
We’re all fading away slowly
Some have lost their zeal
Yet, we all keep clinging
To shades of what seems real
Hang on for Dear Life
Forget about ‘Ol Father Time
There are plenty enough Mountains
Out there still left to Climb
Abandoned Places all around
Lost Tales trapped in Time
What Stories, My Good Friend
Will You Leave Behind?
(Repeat Chorus and Out)

October 06, 2018 Music Was His Saving Grace - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Glen Granthem - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris
Music, Vocals and Production by The Glen Granthem Band
The lyrics listed below inspired Glen to produce this track after he made a few changes to make it flow. I thank him for his hard work on this one.
A FRIEND WAS IN NEED
ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT
SO HE KINDLY AGREEDED
TO HELP IN HIS PLIGHT
THEY TOOK A LONG DRIVE
ON INTERSTATE FIFTY-FIVE
TO A DESTINATION
THAT WOULD BE A LIFE LESSON
ARRIVIN' IN RECORD TIME
HE HELPED WITH HIS BAGGAGE
GLAD TO HELP ANYTIME
TO HIM IT WAS A PRIVILEGE
IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE
HE WAS LAYIN' ON THE GROUND
LOOKIN' UP AT THE SKY
A DRUNK DRIVER HAD HIT HIM
THE ROAD TO RECOVERY
WAS VERY LONG
BUT HIS WILL WAS STRONG
THE MUSIC WOULD SET HIM FREE
MUSIC WAS HIS SAVING GRACE
TAKING HIM BACK IN TIME
TO A BEAUTIFUL PLACE
WHERE EVERYTHING RHYMNED
IN FOUR FOUR TIME
YEA, WHERE IT RHYMNED
IN FOUR FOUR TIME
HE THANKED GOD ABOVE
FOR HIS WONDERFUL LOVE
ON THAT FRIDAY NIGHT

August 30, 2018 Whose That Man - Lyrics by Tony - Featuring The Glen Granthem Band - Original
The lyrics listed below inspired Glen to produce this track.
Lyrics by Tony about a close friend that passed away. RIP Steve.
Vocals, Music Production and Mix by The Glen Granthem Band
HE HAD BEEN BURDENED WITH SICKNESS
FOR ALMOST A YEAR
LAYING IN THE HOSPITAL
HE KNEW HIS TIME WAS NEAR
HIS WIFE HAD BEEN WITH HIM
AND OH...HE LOVED HER SO
JUST HOW MUCH
NO ONE COULD KNOW
LOOKING OVER AT HER
SITTING BY HIS BED
HE SAID…HONEY
WHOSE THAT MAN
SITTING BY YOUR SIDE
THERE'S NO ONE
SITTING BY MY SIDE
YES THEY ARE HONEY
DON'T YOU SEE
WHO DOES HE LOOK LIKE
HE LOOKS LIKE JESUS
AND STARTED TO CRY
TALK TO HIM HONEY
WAS HER REPLY
WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES
HE ASKED FOR FORGIVENESS
WITH A SMILE ON HIS FACE
HE SAID TO HER
JESUS WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU
AND HE DRIFTED AWAY
(CHORUS REPEAT 2 TIMES OR MORE)
WHOSE THAT MAN SITTING NEXT TO YOU
COULD IT BE JESUS WAITING TO TALK TO YOU
HE ALWAYS THERE…JUST CALL OUT HIS NAME………
HE KNOWS ALL YOUR TROUBLES DON'T BE ASHAMED
(ENDING)
HE KNOWS ALL YOUR TROUBLE DON’T BE ASHAMED

August 06, 2018 Let It Flow - Lyrics by Tony Harris - Featuring Riff Beach - Original
Lyrics by Tony Harris
Vocal, Music Production and Mix by Riff Beach
HE WRITES SONGS BECAUSE HE LIKES IT
NOT BECAUSE HE'S GREAT AT IT
NOT FOR THE GLORY
HE LOVES TO TELL A STORY
HE POURS HIS HEART IN IT
HE LETS THE WORDS FLOW
HE’S NOT ONE TO QUIT
BECAUSE HE’D KNOW HE'D REGRET IT
(CHORUS)
LET THE MUSIC FLOW………
DON’T KEEP IT INSIDE
LET IT FLOW……LET IT FLOAT
LET IT TAKE A RIDE
LET IT FLOW…….LET IT FLOAT
LET IT TAKE A RIDE
THE WORDS COME FROM HIS SOUL
HE HAS TO LET ‘EM OUT
JUST LET THEM UNFOLD
AND HE'S GLAD... NO DOUBT
MUSIC’S GOOD FOR HIS HEART
IN TIMES OF TROUBLE
GIVES HIM A NEW START
AND IT KEEPS HIM HUMBLE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
(BRIDGE - 2 X’S) < Slower >
FOLLOW YOUR DREAMS
FOR YOU NEVER KNOW
THEY MAY BE CLOSER…..
THAN THEY SEEM
(CHORUS 2 x’s & OUT)
