- Liner Notes on CD:
A few years ago while riding solo across the U.S. on my bike, I called Gil from the high plains of Montana or Wyoming or some lonely damn place out there. The weather had turned gloomy, and I was far from home, in a mood that felt like the weather. I requested he leave a song on voicemail that I could listen to when another cell signal came along. A day later some bars showed up on my phone’s display, along with the voicemail icon. When I heard Gil’s a cappella version of a verse and chorus of Neil Young’s “See The Sky About To Rain” through the phone’s little speaker, chills ran down my spine. Though there were still many miles to ride, I suddenly felt a lot closer to home.
Knowing and playing with Gilliam all these years, I’ve frequently gone to his music for its pleasant comfort of familiarity. There’ve always been cover tunes to depend on from Gil, with his unique styles of flatpicking and fingerpicking, to flavor an obscure or classic number along with his vocal warmth, while still delivering the original artist’s message.
Here he’s pulled together a great collection of his own compositions for us to sit back with and consider. What you’ll find is a couple of decades of his life – the dreams and experiences, past and future events, friends and family. Low-key and straightforward.
A lot like all of us.
A lot like home.
Enjoy!

- Track Name: To The Rescue!
-
I see a glimmer of a ghost light in my mirror
Reflections of a World I cannot see
A distant whistle of a train that's getting nearer
Racing down the tracks to rescue me
Rescue me because I don't know what is real
Rescue me because I don't know how I feel
Please Rescue Me
And set me free
Ever feel like your career is over
One chance to make it come and gone
Had a dream that I found a four leaf clover
Had a dream that my lucky break had come
Rescue me from more reality TV
Rescue me from watching any more broken dreams
Please Rescue Me
And set me free
People paralyzed by their own fear
Remember how we once all felt so free
When will all this darkness just disappear
When will the beautiful light come and rescue me
Rescue me from this consumer culture scene
Rescue me because I don't know what it means
Please Rescue Me
And set me free
I see a glimmer of a ghost light in my mirror
I see that nobody can rescue me but me
- Track Name: Child Without A Home
-
Somehow we lost our way
Nowhere to turn today
Somewhere In the USA
A child’s without a home
Well there’s something I can’t reconcile
Some children haven’t eaten in a while
While some billionaires are living in style
While a child’s without a home
This Is Wrong
Three Decades of Wall Street Greed
Went unnoticed by the SEC
Caused a crash of our economy
Now a child’s without a home
People watch homes foreclose
Lost jobs when the economy froze
A school provides food and clothes
To help children without homes
This is wrong
And our government should be ashamed
They had decades to stop greedy games
Yet they chose to look the other way
Another child’s without a home
We pay out bonuses to billionaires
Nobody asked if that was even fair
To the homeless child standing over there
Dreaming about a home
This is wrong
- Track Name: Hello Old Friend
-
Hello old friend
Still can see your smile
Even though it’s only a memory
Hello old friend
Yes it’s been a while
Ten years or more or so it seems
Hello Old Friend
Hello Old Friend
Sure good to hear your voice again
Can’t wait to see you again
Wonder what’s taken us so long
All those feeling come rushing in
Feelings I thought were dead and gone
Hello old friend
Still the way you used to be
Always had a sparkle in your eye
Hello old friend
We lived a life so free
Made each other laugh until we cried
Hello Old Friend
Hello Old Friend
Laughing at old photographs again
So good to see you again
Wonder what’s taken us so long
We’re older now with wrinkled skin
But in our hearts we’re still so young
Hello old friend
Slow down the pace
Not ready to cross that finish line
Hello old friend
Nothing’s really changed
Still those crazy kids down deep inside
Hello Old Friend
Hello Old Friend
Wish our visit togethr never had to end
Let’s hear some old songs again
Wonder what’s taken us so long
Grab your guitar we’ll start right in
Maybe even learn a brand new song
Goodbye Old Friend
Until we meet again
Make a place in time for where and when.
- Track Name: I Don't See You Anymore (Steven Oakland song)
-
late last night i pictured you smiling in my mind
im lost so tell me where to now
ive fallen down with a heavy heart
trying to find my way
said your love would stay but now its gone
i tried to relive all those times we had
but that just made me cry
i long to feel your touch and see your face
chorus -- but i dont see you anymore
i cant feel you near
i dont see you anymore
i cant feel you here
the times we laughed and played the fool
oh how i loved you so
walking hand in hand with you in the rain
haunted thoughts of broken hearts
sat down by the lake
i looked around in hope you would be there
a deep and dark and lonely part
of where our love had grown
you brought the basket that we shared
a loving smile a longing stare
the sun was in my eyes
hiding tears of laughter joy and pain
but i dont see you anymore
i cant feel you near
i dont see you anymore
and i cant feel you now
- Track Name: Buckets Of Tears (Rob Moynes song)
-
Don't know where I'll be tomorrow
Don't know where I'll be in a year
These days life is uncertain
it's just a bucket of tears
I'm lost on a lonely highway
Trying to find my way back home to you
Babe! I've lost all sense of direction
and the love of friends I once knew
Buckets of tears coming through
chorus
I wish that this was another one of my bad dreams
and I would wake up by your side
I wish I could have put those poisons down
and that's where I'd be today
But I'm standing in the rain
and Goddamn those clouds!
It looks like buckets of tears falling down
So hey hows it going?
when you asked me I said I was fine
but this pain does not get much better
even with the passing of time
It was a long long road together
and I guess it just had to bend
But I'm still searching for that off ramp
that will bring me back home again
And maybe these nightmares will end.
Chorus
