    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.

    Includes unlimited streaming of American Idle via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

Dream of green (uke song)

Naked before the thorny horde
Wiped out on the cosmic surfboard
Flat on your ass, fat and bored
Another instant message from the lord...
But you turn over, hit the button and snooze

Dreaming up new greens, dreaming up new blues
It aint what you says it’s what you dos
Late at night in the middle of the day
Relax your mind and dream away

You ask all the wrong questions, here come the right answers
When she gets over you, will understand her
Keep your mouth shut, your peepers peeled
Carry the burden of witness, your lips sealed
Tenderly consume the dancer

Dream of green, dream of blue
I dream above I dream of you
Late at night, in the middle of the day
Relax your mind, and dream away

The end of the world will come with a two minute warning
Lay down the hammer honey I'm horny
Let me taste your delicious face
Melt in embrace
Reborn every morning

Dream of Green, Dream of blue
Dream above, dream of you
Late at night In the middle of day
Awaken you and dream away
