    30 Miles Up is pleased to announce the arrival of blues/roots/Americana band Mudcat’s tenth studio album, American Idle. Vocalist and slide guitarist Danny Dudeck (Mudcat) is backed by the talents of Eskil Wetterqvist on percussion, Shannon Kirk on bass, and Lil Joe Burton on trombone. Guest appearances include Lori Beth Edgeman, Lola Gulley, and the Atlanta Horns.

    After creating and releasing five live-to-tape CDs, American Idle finds Mudcat returning to multi-tracking with the recording and engineering talents of Rob Gal. “This batch of new tunes was a bit different and benefitted from layering and soundscapes that required using the studio as an instrument,” said Mudcat. Fans will travel on an expansive musical journey from joyous, sing-along harmonies to psychedelic guitar riffs and sumptuous horn flourishes and then back home to front porch parties with close friends through the twelve original compositions.

about

the blue man is Vishnu

lyrics

Born Perfect

Born perfect in a milky sea
As we slept the Gods watched over thee

Born perfect in a milky sea
As we slept the Gods watched over thee

Catching sharks out in the currency
Taking bites out of reality

All we do is cash the currency
Come swim the reality

Life is fine
Dancing naked and drinking wine

Hu Hu Hu Hu

Mighty conqueror coming from the sea
Lord Intruder I’m a refugee

In Reality I want to be
Like the blue man in the paintings I see

Life is fine
Dancing naked and drinking wine

BLUE BLUE

My dad was the dude that indeed
Did the deed that was needed

To bring me into this world
To bring me into this world

Life is fine
Dancing naked and drinking wine
Blue
-D.Dudeck
