Otis Taylor: "House of the Crosses" - Truth is Not Fiction

"House of the Crosses" song by Otis Taylor
I went down
to the house of the crosses
I saw my momma
fall on her knees
well she told me
this man's your father
he killed two people
and he raped me
she took her trumpet
she held it in her hand
she yelled out:
"he's a evil man"
she said to me
"I don't know how people could be, I don't know how people could be so evil", she said to me
Now I work
the house of the crosses
I watch that evil, that evil man every day
I'm a Guard
in the house of the crosses
I watch that man, every day
Every day, I run to the river,
I try to wash,
wash away my pain,
every day, I run to the river
I try to wash,
wash away my pain
wash away...

Banjo… is blues icon Otis Taylor’s latest and 15th album and definitely his best. It was recorded in Boulder over a two-week period, with Otis Taylor’s band members flown in from all over the country for the occasion. On drums, the amazing Chuck Louden brings his rhythmic fire along with Nick Amodeo on bass and mandolin, J.P. Johnson on lead guitar, and on the B3 Hammond and Moog synth, the wild man himself, Brian Juan.
The music on Banjo… is Otis Taylor at his best. This is a must-have masterpiece from one of the best blues musicians in the world. Pure Otis. Hear samples and buy it at link in "about" tab.
