Lead singer and writer Joe describes the band as \"socially conscious, aware of the world around us, and not afraid to go down a Country-Folk avenue\u0026amp;or to rock out\".\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eHis subject matter reflects his own, often pained experiences growing up in a single-parent family, with his mother losing her life to alcoholism \"so I'm acutely aware of how fragile the whole thing is\u0026amp;and then embracing it from there\". So the sturdy Bury My Blues, which deals with mental health issues, starts as an acoustic ballad before developing into a stomping, fiddle-backed celebration of life. Wine On My Mind is influenced by the problems that faced his mother, and all other addicts \"and just jumping into their shoes for a song. Thinking about how it must feel for them\". And that, says bandmate Adam, is a key part of his technique \"because it's easy to write a song about the devastating impact of these sort of things, but it's a lot harder to take another person's point of view, taking it from their side and how they must be feeling\". Adam-penned Winter Town fits the mood perfectly with its atmospheric story of an out-of-season English resort, depression and suicide.,\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePicking Up Pieces\r I Wish You Well\r Bury My Blues\r Hard Times\r Day By Day\r People Forget\r Time to Kill\r Wine On My Mind\r Winter Town\r The Devil Dealt The Deck\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: CD\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Concrete Prairie","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42027505975377,"sku":"2LVK4Q-30R2-FV","price":15.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0620\/5023\/8545\/files\/concrete-prairie-concrete-prairie_p0Shn.jpg?v=1759475112","url":"https:\/\/apocalypsevinyl.com\/products\/concrete-prairie-concrete-prairie-cd","provider":"Apocalypse Vinyl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
