16 Horsepower - Straw Foot

[@KiroShinigami]

He sings like the devil is on his heels! Love his work! I got to know this kickass band in 1995 I was just a kid....How the world changed indeed. If anyone read the Dark Tower series by Stephen King You'd almost think these songs where for Roland.

[@johnmurray7097]

That's exactly what I did, highly recommend them as the reading soundtrack to the Dark Tower

[@seanhollon]

Because it is.

[@MrWildcountry]

i heard them at DOWN ON THE FARM in Enningdalen in NORWAY in 97 WOW,and I still love it

[@TheRunner75]

Thanks. Never heard this before. Very good song.

[@AugustVonpetersborg]

@darksniper77 Seems so, I was lucky enough to have a pair of their songs show up on my pandora radio station. This is what country music should have evolved into in the last couple decades, not the twangy rap that it is today.

[@AlyTennyson]

[@mrhamme1]

Yes. Certainly is a Christian. This is clear after you listen to most of his body of work from 16 horsepower and Wovenhand. Watch the documentary "The Preacher," as well.

I guess you didn't hear me When I told you for the first time Well don't you worry It won't be the last All I need a floorboard An a wooden shoe Step aside an let my lady through Hey foot, straw foot Low we lay 'em down Hey foot, straw foot Up an back around See the high priest He took my place When the judge looks to me He saw a son's face Not gonna join you in Your tower of babble, boy Tired of that talkin' I'm sick of that noise Hey foot, straw foot Low we lay 'em down Hey foot, straw foot Coverin' ground I am not alone An looks can be deceivin' When we get down to it You're talkin' when you Should be leavin' I've been to Nebraska It reminded me of Spain All the questions loaded All my answers same Hey foot, straw foot Low we lay 'em down Hay foot, straw foot Coverin' ground Let us not mince our words let's say it true this time I need your forgiveness Just like you need mine Tell me how it is that You don't want what He's given It ain't no sin, son To be forgiven Hey foot, straw foot Low we lay 'em down Hey foot, straw foot All over town

[@xbachelorofartsx]

Hay-foot, straw-foot

[@albanmahoudeau1779]

POLICENAUTS.

[@gielomir3]

I had the luck DevilDriver covered them, so a lot of people came on them. They didn't do it to harm the song, I think rather to make them more famous by showing them to their fans. Since then I did not really got into them but I have to say the last few weeks have been a lot of Woven Hand and 16 Horsepower. The underrating of these bands is just impossibly to much...

[@POPclogger216]

@Frederic94 Thank you!

[@ishotthesherifswife]

@Thrilld0zer thats a pretty awsome story!

[@peacexisxfree]

quite possibly one of the most amazing song ever written. there are better versions out there, imo.

[@clazienmegens8971]

great !!

[@Silverhailo21]

@hopseflopsen It's called the lonely road and the way of pain, to die to self.

[@Frederic94]

@POPclogger216 Yes.

[@POPclogger216]

Stupid question, but is this a christian singer? Because I saw someone suggest that, and I was wondering if that's true.

[@theempathicsupernova6865]

Yes, he's a believer, and while the band's music was classified a country goth (🤔) the majority of their songs incorporate a message about the Messiah in some way.

[@chillypizza]

haha when i first read the title i thought it said "straw hat" :D

[@Lgg130]

my chance was this terryfic documentary called "the imposter". they use wayfaring stranger there

[@TireFill]

haha, great find!

[@ishotthesherifswife]

whats a strawfoot?

[@zacharies-shackarie-mcnaca9443]

This was a tactic used in older days when recruits in the 'military' wouldn't often even know left from right, so generals would tie hay to one foot and straw the other foot, simply giving directions via "hayfoot" and "strawfoot"
