Gravel at 432
Loose back-porch delta blues at 432hz feel, acoustic slide guitar and stomping wood-floor percussion. Male vocals, dry and upfront, with a call-and-response harmonica that weaves around the voice. Verses stay intimate and raspy; chorus leans into a shout-sung hook with hand slaps on the guitar body driving the groove. Subtle room reverb, like a single mic in a small wooden shack., delta blues

Lyrics
Verse 1
Old boots
Wet mud
Coffee in a chipped tin cup
Sun crawls
Slow blood
Thinking how my luck dried up
One cloud
Dark grin
Hanging where my hope once was
I laugh
Thin smoke
Say
"Boy
That's just how it does"
Chorus
Got that gravel at 432
Heart beating slow and true
Every ache
Every bruise
Rattling these worn-out shoes
Got that gravel at 432
I bend
But I don’t break through
Sing low
Like the river moves
Gravel at 432
Verse 2
Loose nail
Warped plank
Porch board keeping time for me
Sad dog
Chain clank
Howling in the minor key
Two ghosts
One chair
Mama in the screen door frame
I play
Three chords
Every one a different flame
Chorus
