From Hawks debut CD "You Were Right" 2004
A celebration of the North Coast’s finest agricultural product.
This plant has been providing people with food, fiber, and medicine for countless millennia. I wish they would just legalize it and save everybody a lot of trouble, but I suppose some folks would not be comfortable if things started going right. We had a lot of fun recording this one. Antonia pulled off a Cripple Creek feeling on the banjo that infects the entire song with giddy joy. Lily plays bass like it was a reggae song, Maria joins me on the vocals, and Roger kicks in a beautiful mandolin. The Old McDonald portion of the song is actually me coming up with five different voices that we mixed together. Calvin drove me mercilessly to come up with those voices, and we laughed so hard our sides ached.
