Absolutely sublime. Doesn’t get any better than this. It’s a delight and honor to have met all five in previous projects through house concerts at my cousin Ruth and hubby Rob’s over the years. Kudos to cousin Paul Kowert for masterminding this project- he was already mind bending chops-wise and the rest of the lineup are up to that level of mastery - and wonderful people to boot. I’m blessed to call them all cousins. cousinAdam

I can't tell if this song is about me--or someone I know! It's perfect, and hilarious! I love the church line about "a cross on her neck, and a nine in her purse"! The musicianship in this song is enchanting. Thanks, James. I play this song every day in these dark times.

had to go searching the lyrics.... In case you, too [Verse 1] My brother's a fascist, lives in Palacios, fishes the pier every night He holsters his glock in a double retention, he smokes while he waits for a bite He don't like the Muslims, he don't like the Jews He don't like the Blacks and he don't trust the news He hates the Hispanics and alternative views, he'll tell you it's tough to be white [Verse 2] My sister's a Christian, she likes to go fishin', she don't mind my brother at all He puts her on redfish and flounder and trout, and they tear up the flats in the fall She gets back to Dallas all sunburnt and sour Worn out from slinging plugs hour after hour Seeing spots when she closes her eyes in the shower, she don't see a conflict at all [Chorus 1] It's the state of the union I guess It's always been iffy at best We're all in the family, the cursed and the blessed It's the state of the union I guess We're all in the family, the cursed and the blessed It's the state of the union I guess [Verse 3] Mother turned eighty, consummate lady, we took her to Golden Corral 'Cos she likes the Yeast Rolls and Bourbon Street Chicken, we oughta known better by now 'Cos me and my brother got into it good I called him a hick and he called me a hood He said Dad always treated his Mexican's good, I guess you think you're better somehow [Verse 4] Yeah you think you're better, cardigan sweater, snowflake if ever there was You think you're so cool 'cos you did good in school, you got whipped every day on the bus Sister let out for the shop and got worse Went to Wednesday night prayer at the new Christian church With a cross on her neck and a nine in her purse, she might be the wisest of us [Chorus 2] It's the state of the union I guess We're all in a hell of a mess We're all in the family, the cursed and the blessed It's the state of the union I guess It's the state of the union I say Christmas dinner, might be hell to pay So how 'bout them Cowboys and have a blessed day It's the state of the union I say It's the state of the union I guess It's always been iffy at best We'll do all we're able with what we got left It's the state of the union I guess We'll do all we're able with what we got left It's the state of the union I guess
