Dooley 02:01
Dooley was a good ole man He lived below the mill Dooley had two daughters And a forty-gallon still One gal watched the boiler The other watched the spout Mama corked the bottles And ole Dooley fetched ’em out. Dooley slippin’ up the holler Dooley try to make a dollar Dooley give me a swaller And I’ll pay you back someday. The revenuers came for him slippin’ though the woods Dooley kept behind them all And never lost his goods Dooley was a trader When into town he’d come Sugar by the bushel And molasses by the ton. Dooley slippin’ up the holler Dooley try to make a dollar Dooley gimme a swaller And I’ll pay you back someday. I remember very well The day ole Dooley died The women folk looked sorry And the men stood round and cried Now Dooley’s on the mountain He lies there all alone They put a jug beside him And a barrel for his stone. Dooley slippin’ up the holler Dooley try to make a dollar Dooley gimme a swaller And I’ll pay you back someday. And I’ll pay you back someday.

Nobody Knows 02:12
Nobody knows Nobody ever knows No one ever knows when things wont’ stay the same She’s in love with you And you know you love her too There will come a time when she won’t know your name There’s a lot of things that die every time the day goes by There’s a lot of things people can’t explain You can be in love today Meaning every word you say Knowing when tomorrow comes the words you say will be a lie Nobody knows Nobody ever knows No one ever knows why love must go away We played the games And never really understood Never really understand the games we play Nobody knows Nobody ever knows No one knows when things won’t stay the same She’s in love with you And you know you love her too There will come a time when she won’t know your name

Words & Music by: Kate Allen Wolf Another Sundown Pub/BMI I’ve been walkin’ in my sleep Countin’ troubles instead of countin’ sheep Where the years went I can’t say I just turned around and they’ve gone away And I’ve been siftin’ through the layers Of dusty books and faded papers That tell a story I used to know It was one that happened so long ago It’s gone away yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide Well I heard the owl a-callin’ Softly as the night was fallin’ With a question and I replied But, he’s gone across the borderline He’s gone away yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide The finest hour I have seen Is the one that comes between The edge of night and the break of day It’s when the darkness rolls away It’s gone away yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide It’s gone away yesterday And I find myself on the mountainside Where the rivers change direction Across the Great Divide

Wait a minute did I hear you say you’re going far away again Try to change it I can’t take the lonely nights without your love Doin’ the road to get the music done and move along What good does it do to play your songs for him and hear him say Wait a minute did I hear you say you’re going far away again Try to change it I can’t take the lonely nights without your love You’re rolling along and life’s been good to you and even so He comes to you late at night’s the time you hear him say Wait a minute did I hear you say you’re going far away again Try to change it I can’t take the lonely nights without your love Waiting for you thirty days and nights without a rest I’ve gotta hold on twenty-four to go once again Wait a minute did I hear you say you’re going far away again Try to change it I can’t take the lonely nights without your love Wait a minute did I hear you say you’re going far away again Try to change it I can’t take the lonely nights without your love

I’ve got a bottle of tequila and a handful of salt The first one I’ll drink to you The second will help to ease my mind By the fifth I won’t remember your name And I may dance on the tables Dance ‘cross the floor I might even forget why I came But, the only way you’ll be truly gone Is if I never wake up again Don’t try to let me down easy Don’t try to change my state of mind Just twist the knife a little deeper Maybe you’ll kill me this time Well I know all the rumors I’m not deaf and I’m not blind Why don’t you leave me for that other Or find a way to change my mind Don’t try to let me down easy Don’t try to change my state of mind Just twist the knife a little deeper Maybe you’ll kill me this time Well I don’t want you for my friend Cause friends don’t do friends this way Make up your mind to be leavin’ Or make your mind up to stay Don’t try to let me down easy Don’t try to change my state of mind Just twist the knife a little deeper Maybe you’ll kill me this time Then your prayers will be answered Maybe mine will be too There’s no use in living This life you’re puttin’ me through Don’t try to let me down easy Don’t try to change my state of mind Just twist the knife a little deeper Maybe you’ll kill me this time Just twist that knife a little deeper Maybe you’ll kill me this time

It’s too late, I can’t fall any farther Now you say it was a mistake You don’t know what to do ’cause I still love you And I know that it’s just not right In the middle of a sleepless night I turn around and I cover my head Forget the words you said And you want me to forget you But, all I do is remember You loved me then, love me again I still want you, but you’re gonna leave It’s my time, I’ll waste it if I want to And you might finally realize That you can make up your mind But, you can’t change mine And I know that it’s just not right In the middle of a sleepless night I turn around and I cover my head Forget the words you said And you want me to forget you But, all I do is remember You loved me then, love me again I still want you, but you’re gonna leave And you want me to forget you But, all I do is remember You loved me then, love me again I still want you, but you’re gonna leave I still love you, but you’re gonna leave

about

This album features the legendary Billy Ray Lathum, Bluegrass Hall of Fame Inductee (Country Boys/Kentucky Colonels, Dillards) in his last recordings with the band Soulgrass.

Sadly, Billy Ray Lathum passed away on August 19, 2018. He is remembered and widely respected by his peers as a hard driving banjo player and entertainer. On this 20-year anniversary of Billy’s joining Soulgrass, we were inspired to release this album to memorialize his involvement in the band as well as bring to light his incredible historical contributions to Bluegrass music. The album includes 7 never-released recordings made by Soulgrass in 2003 along with excerpts from a 12/26/02 live radio show and a bonus digital 12-page booklet detailing Billy’s history and info about Soulgrass.

** This is also mixed & mastered in Dolby Atmos/Spatial Audio which allows listeners to feel as if they're inside the song itself.

Dolby Laboratories’ Dolby Atmos is familiar to many from its “surround sound” application in thousands of movie theaters. It is described by the respected sound technology innovator as “revealing depth, clarity and details like never before….a sound experience you can feel all around you.” Audio produced in Dolby Atmos adapts automatically to your Atmos-compatible device and system to give you an all-enveloping sound experience you would not expect.
