J.T. Tammaro No sell out, thank God! DH picks up where they left off on their debut. "Time to Make up For" swings, "Plague Song" is angry, and the rollicking "The Woman from Walkern" sounds like vintage Fairport.
In a perfect world "In Between Girl" would be a #1 hit. Tatiana's vocals echo Judy Dyble with a hint of Marianne Faithful.
"What's your time Bought?" rocks. Overall the musicianship here is excellent and so is the songwriting. DH is proudly rooted in the past, but very much a NOW artist. Buy it! Favorite track: In Between Girl.

spill me some of your time down that long slip and slide of your look there's a full moon to hide in, a bottle to widen the cracks in the wall where the earth shook  so swallow the rest of my pride and you'll knock that moon right out of the sky your mouth is a storm drain uncluttered with reason... the reason i need you tonight so hold on to me… for the world is a jealous lover Oh raise high the roof beam carpenter hammer in nail upon nail there'll be many to drive on the mornin' to come  when i wake with you... …and theres no place that we have to be If the night is a highway still running the wrong way to people that we have to see, just hold on to me... for there's no other world to discover just raise high the roof beam carpenter hammer in nail upon nail there'll be many to drive on the morning to come  when i wake with you there'll be many to drive on the morning to come  when i wake with you

Winterland 03:48
From the sky dropped an eagle down like an arrow straight… and left behind his soaring mate... as if he'd lost all reason... dragged from his Tower and kindled there…. and sent to the ends of his kingdom fair to warn all comers….to fly from the sky fell an eagle down like a lover spent no shot, no sound of cold intent... in the cold embrace of the season... you can drown up there where the contrails bloom until freedom cries 'there is no more room and no more reason to try'… sign of the Times for a wistful man next in line Winterland next in line Winterland next in line Winterland sign of the Times for a wistful man next in line Winterland next in line Winterland next in line Winterland

Plague Song 03:29
I am the harbinger dressed like a crow i've come from the past with a cane at your door I'm dressed like a butcher, don't look in my eyes don't breathe on or touch me, don't bother to rise stay away, lay the man down send out your sinners, your men of renown rage rage burn it all down Bring Laudanum, ambergris, lavender, straw… camphor, rose petals and cloves of the law to cover the stench of injustice and greed bring me my leeches, they're ready to feed... Stay away, lay the man down Death rides a pale horse in a glittering crown rage rage burn it all down Looked into the future and what did i see black ships of contagion that rolled on the sea and they move just like money, wher'er the wind blows from nation to nation i walk down the rows Stay away, lay the man down even your helmsmen are running aground rage rage burn it all down stack up the bodies set fire to the town rage rage burn it all down

Why the blood on your sleeve? Are you fashioned to leave this day as the heavens have opened their skies for the grain with the rain? Why the mark on your hand? Do you know that… your brother is dead and your father's taken to his bed, my dearest love, for the beaus and the arrows? Did you strike off his name from your heart just the same as the Bible says Satan was cast into hell? He was gentle and mild and he loved you so wild that i cannot believe what this blood does me tell. Well it's true that i did. At the crossroads i hid as he passed me unknown on the cold mountainside There i struck and he fell…. as he asked me to tell why his murder must come from my hands as he died. He was gentle and mild even so he beguiled this day… oh my gentle…new bride… so i've taken his Pride from this world just the same… as did Cain

Oh the woman from Walkern strolled down to the Beane (river) she kept right on walking till she floated serene her clothes left behind in a pile by a tree with a note for the postman to send them to me Send them on the shoes and the rest and the ragged black jumper that covered her breast send them all to be blessed… at the mid-summer feast for the woman from walkern, was the queen of the East The next day they found her washed up in a field the reverend came 'round and he said "how ya feel?" "there's no law against lonely old women i know… but she was no more a witch than your holy scarecrow" Send them on the cane and the key ah the women have power that you can't even see raise a glass for them all…. the first and the least and the woman from walkern, the queen of the East

oh woodsman spare the tree touch not a single bough in my youth it sheltered me and I'll protect it now my daddy placed the seed and shaped its heavy crown oh woodsman leave it be or i'll put you in the ground the old familiar's glory and renown... how can you knock it down? the lumberjack began would not be turned away he raised his axe again but here's not here today Well, the judge was mighty mad but the jury had their say "if you don't stand your ground they'll take it anyway" the old familiar's glory and renown how can you knock it down? CH Hey ho the Remnant roll straight as the eastern rise Hey ho but no one knows aint we a big surprise Hey ho the Remnant roll straight as the eastern rise Hey ho but no one knows they're in for a big surprise

Heard you were on your own so who's the pretty dolly? Brought you some tasty pills to purge your melancholy... Wash it all down with tar beneath the spreading holly Still have your house for sale?-- you must be feeling jolly Boy, that old girl you had she really was a dumb one Me i don't mind "alone" its better than a someone Who has the time to peel a woman like an onion Anyway glad to see you found another young one Why do you dive so deep in beauty? It's flower will soon decay, Every man must do his duty so i must be on my way I've got a problem help me its about your neighbor he wrote some nasty things about me in the paper. said the world is slowly going into labor and i cannot be just the only guy who never could escape her Why do you dive so deep in beauty? in the dark it fades away every man must do his duty and that's all i have to say Why do you dive so deep in beauty? when it's all about decay in a world of punch and judy you know it's always been that way why do you dive so deep in beauty?… you know its such a waste of time and if any body knew me they would say i'm do-in' fine fine fine fine fine…

Where have you been let me kiss you again Are you real babe? then it's alright just like a teen… there is no in between when your 1st love comes back in sight oh, who's been gone since last semester began? …aw, who's this long haired 6 foot mystery man? Got some time to make up for time to make up for... Me and my Joe in the car drivin' slow got some time to make up for Passed through the halls with my eyes on the walls it was hard without you 'round Now you are here like the man of the year always hunting the shadows down When you're gone away from me boy for even an hour i'm bout ready to flee this ivory tower Got some time to make up for time to make up for Going too far to our song in the car got some time to make up for Did you count the days, the weeks, boy, the minutes the hours? Did you fall asleep and dream we were back in the shower? Got some time to make up for time to make up for... It was you on my mind cuz we're-two of a kind got some time to make up for Drinking you in - now its time to begin got some time to make up for Baby at last..like a ghost from the past got some time to make up for got some time to make up for got some time to make up for got some time to make up for

So whats your time bought? Time to pay it back with your life upon the ramparts your dancing days have all changed to knives Did you chase the crown? Did you run the mother down into the cold ground? Look what your time bought a thousand miles of empty smiles and what's your last thought speeding now into the final miles? Was it easy to sleep on the promises you never tried to keep? You made the Lord weep… Did you live the dream? Did ya. On the winning team with your time? Did you crush the world and smile did you keep yourself in style? always winning on the sly kiss your sorry ass goodbye You can't invade the pearly gate with the machinery of State. You made the Lord wait.... So, what's your time bought? You've climbed the mountain to the other side that's just what I thought.... all you are's a waste of Time
