    Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    In the Shadow of the Bull
    David Lowery

    The CD DOES NOT CONTAIN THE BONUS TRACK. THIS IS THE ORIGINAL LIMITED EDITION CD. LESS THAN 50 REMAINING.

    This is the first installment of a multi-disc musical autobiography. I do this not so much to tell my own story but rather to pay tribute to my mother, father, sisters, family, friends, and those who have shared their lives with me. This is a limited edition of 1,000 CDs. Please do not make copies or upload to SoundCloud YouTube, etc. Think small. Ubiquity is overrated.

lyrics

Superbloom

The storm clouds came up from mexicali
Cast Shadows on the Salton Sea
Here with my fathers family has settled
from arkansas to the
coachella valley
like grapes of wrath in the 1970s


My grandfather packed dates
Near the polo grounds
He sometimes mowed people’s lawns
Grandma was a housekeeper
in palm springs
or the Bermuda Dunes
country club

One summer I went to stay with cousins in Indio
they were fleeing poverty in Arkansas
My uncle was a hellfire Baptist minister
My cousin Norma Jean that's her name she was sweet
But her twin brothers trouble for the law

The twins stole a car
And they took me to watch them
burn by the aqueduct
Then they robbed the neighbor’s house
I was frightened ran away.
Never told my grandfather what they doen

Dark-haired Mary in 8th grade
Her mother was from Mexico
Her father was a soldier
She asked me to the dance
Sat in the bleachers just held hands
One slow dance at the end


It rained and snowed a lot that winter
And in the spring came the Super Bloom
The desert was a sea of purple and orange flowers
From Cabazon on down to Mexico
