Kevin Morby

Ashburn

Kevin Morby writes (and records, and imagines) at an almost incomparable clip, and his most recent album, This Is A Photograph, studies life, time and mortality through myriad lenses. It’s a dynamic, buoyant record on big, heavy themes, so it only makes sense that Morby found he wasn’t quite done with it on its completion. More Photographs (A Continuum) finds new nooks, corners and vantage points. “If This Is A Photograph is a house that you have been living inside of,” says Morby, “then More Photographs is the same home just experienced differently. As if you, its inhabitant, have taken a tab of something psychedelic and now, suddenly, you&#39;ve replaced your eyeglasses with kaleidoscopes.”
 
Morby returns to his landmark album&#39;s bottomless themes with new wisdom, new imagination, and the winking, looping callbacks that tie his full body of work together in uniquely special ways. “Everything you once thought was familiar,” he continues, “suddenly appears differently, shifting shapes, color and sonic landscapes.”
 
“With every collection of songs,” says Morby, “I feel I must cast them out of me before moving onto the next project, and here I knew that what I had begun with This Is A Photograph was not finished. Releasing this collection is my tying a bow on that time and place in my creative life.” With a luxurious nine tracks, More Photographs (A Continuum) is prequel, sequel and primer to an already rich and generous record from one of our most luminous modern songwriters.

He modified his Coronado to have a Mustang vibrato so he can use it just with his wrist ! Genius ! The fender dynamic vibrato on the mustang is the ONLY one to have this feature and it&#39;s higly addictive. Makes you play very differently than with another guitar !

Kevin if you ever read this, thankyou buddy! From one soul to another, hearing and seeing from one to the other! Cheers mate 😀

This guy is special, What a track, amazing, Keep it up kevin you got serious talent. ❤✋

OMG! Love this song. Cool... Just chillin and listening... Fell in love with it when air bnb commercial played it.

That haunting feeling of rambling and being lost and passing through a tunnel from decades ago…

The voices, the lyrics, the rolling piano and beach guitar.. ya’ll are killing it. Thanks for the vacation

Tom Petty, Dire Straits, Eagles this has old school vibes like nothing I’ve heard. I’m from NC and been to Va Beach. This hits home.

The esoteric symbology and lyricism is strong in this one. It must be a requisite to glorious stardom.

I hit the like button before listening cause i know Kevin morby never disappoints!!

Very beautifull! From Italy I listen to you every day

Heard this on my old G.e. alarm clock radio on some random station, loved it enough to scrawl down some lyrics and look em up

Never would I have expected this duo ! This is amazing ! two masters at work !

Lyrics:
Boarded a train down in Virginia Beach
Woke up in the club car with the sunshine poking through the palm trees 
And you were next to me

I have been to a Carolina
‘Til a dark horse on a black highway pointed me Towards Paris, Tennessee

I have been through badlands Montana
From the white sands of a haunted Kansas covered snow Of Paris, Idaho

And never ever did I think I’d meet 
Oh the devil from behind the sink 
Just a smiling staring back at me
I put my hand to the mirror dear 
And then he disappeared

And I have been to a Texarkana
Holding my faith just like a hand gun 
Wondering out loud if I’m coming or going 
Halfway to sleep or halfway to heaven

And never ever did I think I’d meet 
Oh the devil from behind the sink 
Just a smiling staring back at me 
Held my hand through the mirror 
Then I cried from a thousand years
I musta drowned in a thousand tears 
Can you help me disappear?

And he said come here, dear 
And pulled me into the mirror

Boarded a train down in Virginia Beach
Woke up in the club car with the sunshine poking through the palm trees 
And you were next to me
