Great Big Yam is all about the picnics and harvests. Rural music from rural people.
Great Big Yam is a collective and individual effort to preserve traditional American music and create songs within that tradition. From the traveling blues to the banjo breakdown to the jigs and reels native to Ireland to the African roots to folk protest songs.

Story behind the song
This is basically a smacktalk blues, with a twist.
Lyrics
I've got a pistol on my belt & the notches are carved into the side. I'm just bullshittin', that ain't the first time that I've lied. I've never fired around much less in a crowd and I never go down to the South Side of town because the firing pin's jammed in and the cap likes to stick. I'm like a cowboy on Belmont when I go to walkin' around. I'm the shadiest character you'll run into north of Canal I've taken strolls down by the riverrun and reveries, boys, I've had me some Take out my pistol & my bullets & crosscut saw You'd better not step, boy, you'd better not test It ain't no joke, I've got barrels of smoke in my vest & a fire that's burning down under my shoes from the street grates on Junkie Avenue & a Silver Lone Ranger Special, brother, And it's aiming at you.
