    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.

lyrics

Must Forgive

We must forgive and never forget
Have peace without regret
There is power in forgiving
Start with yourself

You can’t love somebody else
If you refuse to love yourself

Sleeping beauty fades and blames it on age
We must cultivate learn to turn the page
Change is in your mind
Change your thought

You can’t love somebody else
If you refuse to love yourself

Dream big because dreaming is free
Believe possibilities
Have courage when darkness is near
Open your heart love will appear

You can’t love somebody else
If you refuse to love yourself

© 2011 D. Dudeck / 30 miles Up / ASCAP
