Blackland: Southern Rock-N-Roll
BLACKLAND: original rock-n-roll. The band has been peforming since 1998 at clubs, festivials and fairs throughout the Southeast. We have released three albums so far and working on a forth. Blackland's all original music comes from the heart and soul of Muscle Shoals, Alabama but don't be confused, you will hear very little (if any) of the old "Muscle Shoals Sound". The music has been described as "Metallica meets Skynyrd" and we are totally cool with that, actually we embrace it. The band makes it home in the former East Avalon Recorders facility in Muscle Shoals. The studio is now known as Clear Day Studio and our music is published through Cleardaymessenger Publishing.

Story behind the song
The original idea was inspired by our friend and fellow Muscle Shoals picker Max Russell
Lyrics
the creek was rising and the river was deep was baptised at seventeen gators were snapping at my damn feet nibbled on me down to my knees the band was playing people set me free Ronnie Van Zant taught me what I need I'm standing in the water with a woman by me long legged woman come dance with me that long dark hair flowing over me I'm gonna drown give me what I need she aint had a bath in nearly three weeks she smells real good laying under me pretty as a picture that I never have seen and she was living in Blackland she's a ghost of a woman by a cypress tree that cold black water it set me free girl's got back like you've never seen black leather lace down to her knees hung her gold wedding ring around my neck she feels real good laying under me put a spell on me I passed her test when I met her I never looked back I was riding on the memory of a brown eyed queen dark headed women get the best of me standing in the water gators snapping at me she chewed on me down to my knees I punched that ticket now I'll take that ride and she was living in Blackland 2007 Clear Day Messenger Publishing ASCAP
