Dax Riggs - Mother of Earth

[@kellyjojuarez4781]

dax will always be fucken legend one of the baddest voices of all times 💕💋

[@DaisyHead666]

I've gone down the river of sadness I've gone down the river of pain In the dark, under the wires I hear them call my name I gave you the key to the highway And the key to my motel door And I'm tired of leaving and leaving so i wont back no more Oh, my dark eyed friend I'm recalling you again Soft voices that speak nothing Speak nothing to the end Oh, Mother of Earth Blind they call But yet, stay behind the wall Their sadness grows like weeds Upon my thighs and knees Oh, Mother of Earth The wind is hot I tried my best but I could not my eyes fade from me In this open country I've gone down the river of sadness I've gone down the river of pain In the dark, under the wires I hear them call my name I gave you the key to the highway And the key to my motel door yes I'm tired of leaving and leaving so i wont back no more And i And i wont be back no more I wont be back no more.

[@fredyflores73]

Is Dax coming out with a new album? I dont remember this song...

[@420belcher]

He is working on an album, but this is from a show last year

[@Altarofdoom]

it's a Gun Club cover

[@patrickjohnmccollough7560]

I like Dax but I must say he chose a wrong song to cover.. This is one of those songs the can never be done close to Th e Gun Club

[@DianaPriceWriter]

+Patrick McCollough Inclined to agree but appreciate the homage

[@BeyondSideshow]

The point of covering a song is rarely trying to one-up the original...

[@TheGrinchStoleMyBong]

i love his version of heartbreak hotel better than elvis's

[@wednesdaymonroe]

I disagree, but its all a matter of opinion

[@autumnalburn]

I agree that this doesn't nearly touch the Gun Club version, but I do think Dax has the tone of voice to correctly cover one of their songs. Similar kind of gravel as Jeffrey Lee Pierce
