It includes 14 songs written/co-written by Kelly and features Kelly (lead vocals, acoustic guitar, xylophone, harmonica), Jarrad K (12-string guitar, background vocals, electric guitar, Rhodes), Tim Kelly (pedal steel), Ian Fitchuk (piano, organ, drums, percussion), Eli Beaird (bass) and Kyle Ryan (banjo) as well as background vocals from Jon Green, Natalie Hemby, Kacey Musgraves, Kate York, Abby Sevigny and Joy Williams. Of the album, Kelly comments, “A lot of my music is focused on suffering, or trying to understand the human condition through the lens of suffering…which probably sounds totally depressing, but it’s actually the flipside of that. Sometimes you’ve gotta go into that darkness—you need to get lost and then figure out for yourself how to find your way back. That’s the only way we can find pure joy, and really be thankful for the life we’ve been given.” Dying Star Track List: 1 Cover My Tracks (written by Ruston Kelly, Jarrad K) 2 Mockingbird (written by Ruston Kelly) 3 Son Of A Highway Daughter (written by Ruston Kelly) 4 Paratrooper’s Battle Cry (written by Ruston Kelly) 5 Faceplant (written by Ruston Kelly, Jarrad K, Brendan Benson) 6 Blackout (written by Ruston Kelly, Jarrad K, Joy Williams) 7 Big Brown Bus (written by Ruston Kelly, Jarrad K, Ricky Brantley) 8 Mercury (written by Ruston Kelly) 9 Anchors (written by Ruston Kelly, Jarrad K) 10 Just For The Record (written by Ruston Kelly, Jarrad K, Lucie Silvas) 11 Trying To Let Her (written by Ruston Kelly, Joe Leathers, Kyle Jacobs) 12 Jericho (written by Ruston Kelly, Joy Williams, Natalie Hemby) 13 Dying Star (written by Ruston Kelly, Caitlyn Smith, Rollie Gaalswyk) 14 Brightly Burst Into The Air (written by Ruston Kelly) LYRICS Pretty wings Your the prettiest thing Your like Parker Posey in a magazine with faded jeans and a crop top back in ‘93 I wanna be your dressed in black Your dark star with a backwards hat Im gonna write you a book and put your name on every page Every page Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs Theres already rain on my window Im dying when the morning comes Flew away in the night with a raven And now im underneath the willows hanging Im to strung out to be upside down Pretty little mockingbird sing your song I was the desert honey you were the sand I was a bird baby you were the branch I flew into the blue and watched those flowers dying It wasn't much just everything You could have sat right there and got high with me But you fell asleep and your dreaming brought the nightmares Brought the nightmares Hey pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs Theres already rain on my window Im dying when the morning comes Flew away in the night with a raven And now im underneath the willows hanging Im to strung out to be upside down Pretty little mockingbird sing me a song Yeah pretty little mockingbird keep singing them sad sad songs Theres already rain on my window Im dying when the morning comes Flew away in the night with a raven And now im underneath the willows hanging Im to strung out to be upside down Pretty little mockingbird Pretty little mockingbird sing me a song Rounder Records #RustonKelly #Mockingbird #DyingStar Music video by Ruston Kelly performing Faceplant. © 2018 Rounder Records, a division of Concord Music Group, Inc.
