A gorgeous ballad of Jesus-freak love, warm and bright enough to transcend the thin bandwidth of the AM dial. Your mom and dad will love it as you hum along from the back seat while they drive you to summer camp.

I'm excited to introduce my new project entitled "AMgold"; a collection of original songs inspired by the soft rock radio hits I marinated in as a youngster. It is a collaborative effort featuring many of my musical friends and produced by Andy Plaisted.
lyrics
Morning chills me to the core
Each dawn colder then the one before
Missing the fire and beauty we had for a while
tried to write a winter song
cold rain falling, didn't take long
til I made it 'bout us, what went wrong
and my metaphors seemed juvenile
She needs time a little more time and some sanctuary
Lordy I'm hard up and blue again,
She was born again in the stained glass light
I need salvation to spend the night
god damn, I'm getting tight with the man
right with the man
Stormy weather's only one
of the reasons i'm a moody son
our time ain't some kinda dry run for the afterlife
one thing I think that guy should know
she's not just another holy rolling Jane doe
She's a good friend but my rock and roll dreams will never fly
She needs time a little more time and some sanctuary
Lordy I'm hard up and blue again,
She was born again in the stained glass light
I need redemption to see her tonight
god damn, I'm getting tight with the man
right with the man
Still not ready to testify
Just can't seem to say goodbye
Only a fool wouldn't wink an eye and get in line
She needs time a little more time and some sanctuary
Lordy I'm hard up and blue again,
She's a born again lady in the stained glass light
got to find salvation to spend the night
god damn, I'm getting tight with the man
right with the man

Every time I drive around in my truck listening to Mr. Galaxy I feel like I’m on a secret mission and I don’t even know what the secret is but it feels cosmic and righteous. mango2020

Duke's playing is exquisite, and I love his song choices and song writing. An incredibly gifted artist and fine human being to boot! Just wonderful! Chuck & Mud

A fascinating, appealing record no less “weird” than the rest of her oeuvre, but certainly the most weirdly versatile. Bandcamp Album of the Day Mar 25, 2022
