“I been gettin’ up every morning with the hair of the downward canine.” That improbable lyric belongs to “Marlboro Vinyasa,” the most recent single from Willi Carlisle’s Tyler Childers-produced double album The Common Bubba. In contrast to prior single “Mason Jar At The Middle Of The World,” which was the type of a standard reel you may squaredance to, this track is a barroom country-rocker. The press launch repeatedly makes use of the phrase “smoky,” which might be acceptable even when a cigarette model wasn’t name-checked within the title.
Carlisle supplied this backstory:
There’s an amazing bar within the Quad Cities referred to as the Raccoon Motel. After just a few gigs there, I received to speaking to any person who hosts yoga, and mentioned they do their respiration workouts on the sticky ground and do solar salutations dealing with the Marlboro commercials. I couldn’t recover from the irony: yoga respiration workouts and cigarettes. What an American factor, to search out the wheel of samsara in a pint glass! All I dropped at the desk was a bit shuffle, form of one thing out of Springsteen’s Nebraska in its spareness however with a really feel from the Band, perhaps just like the songs “Jemima Give up” or “This Wheel’s On Hearth.” The band did the remainder, took it to area, made it groove.
