lyrics

As the sun grew hot
We knew it was time to stop
So we took that room in the old railway hotel

You and I were there
Sat in rocking chairs
Taking in the high sierra air

As the sun came up
The top went down
And we drove amongst the giant trees

As we descended
The road it bended
Took us past the meadow to the trailhead

We climbed those endless steps
To the top of Nevada Falls
And I’d never felt this high before

And the beating of our hearts
Sounded like the thunder in the valley
You could hear it for miles and miles and miles and miles around

We got soaked to the skin
Swear I’d never felt so alive
And I was so wet that I couldn’t light my cigarette

Just stood under the awning
Watching the rain
And you said let’s drive, let’s just drive

We climbed those endless steps
To the top of Nevada Falls
And I’d never felt this high before

And the beating of our hearts
Sounded like the thunder in the valley
You could hear it for miles and miles and miles and miles around

And the beating of our hearts
Sounded like the thunder in the valley
You could hear it for miles and miles and miles and miles around

about

The Wynntown Marshals Edinburgh, UK

Formed in Edinburgh in 2007, The Marshals tip their hat to The Jayhawks, Wilco, Drive-By Truckers, Tom Petty, Ryan Adams & Neil Young.

Their sound can loosely be described as ‘country rock' with powerpop hooks, but they love layered guitars, catchy choruses and have an unabashed belief in the power of rock music as a storytelling medium. ... more

Bloody Noses EP
by Richard Thompson

supported by 5 fans who also own “Thunder In The Valley”

John Drumbo French from Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band worked with Thompson on two albums along with Fred Frith and Henry Kaiser. Those two French, Frith, Kaiser and Thompson albums led me to this. Also, Richard Thompson taught Hugh Cornwell (of The Stranglers) how to play the bass guitar in a band when they were both at the same school (Emil and The Detectives?). With a career spanning 50 years and playing with two of my heroes (French and Cornwell) Thompson has produced a fascinating EP. yellowcakeuf6

I saw this man open for another relative unknown at Vaudeville Mews in Des Moines Iowa a few years ago and was immediately hooked! He opened for Anderson East. I did love em both but this guy needs more recognition! Michael Streeter
