Kyle Miller - The House Carpenter


Kyle Miller is a songwriter and guitarist from upstate NY. We've had him at Americana Tuesdays twice now. This song is an old song about loss and despair and babies and drowning.

***

"No failure in America, whether of love or money, is ever simple; it is always a kind of betrayal, of a mass of shadowy, shared hopes... Within that failure is a very different America; it is an America of desolation, desolate because it is felt to be out of place, and it is here that Robert Johnson looked for his images and found them." - Marcus Greil, Mystery Train
