Cody Rogers"There’s a sad dive bar somewhere between heaven and hell and Rogers’ voice sounds like something you’d hear booming from the stage of that place. Shivery, deep, weathered.”Tishomingo, releases 07 July 20221. Tishomingo2. Night I Lost You3. Preachers Kids4. Drones5. Magnolia6. Stranger7. Don't Ask (if You Don't Want To Know)8. What Sins Are For9. Highway PatrolTishomingo, chief of the Chickasaw starsThe ruler of the red clay kingdom What have they done with your name?The old world is buried with you, yes, but the people remain the same. The land that once provided, is now cracked asphalt. Measured and weighed for pound by its worth. Taken by the hands of men in your time, who in my time, still only know how to take. White crosses scrape the sky while people starve underneath. Abandoned by the white mans gods of the free market and tv presidents. Abandoned by time and washed on its shores with nothing but the roar of cicadas.We suffer, Tishomingo. Atlanta may of burned but we smolder with each generation anew.We live in the shadows of confederate grey ghost. Kudzu growing from the blood they spilt. It swallows us whole. Tishomingo, does the honeysuckle vines grow from where the people of righteous anguish fall? Does our mother the earth get the final say on our evils? A buttercup for every Jim Crow pain born? A whippoorwill song for every tear on the trail? Will a stream be cut by my father’s love? Will there be a cool breeze in July for my mother’s kindness?I cannot bear these things, Tishomingo. But who am I to speak of bearing to the unthroned king of all I see?When I look up in the night sky and my face is illuminated, be it your stars or the Dollar General sign, I’ll think of you.
