NOTES:
Suitcase in My Hand/I Feel Like Traveling On
This latest double Cd from R. David Cash and his band, Spirit of Hope, is a collection of original & traditional songs that are, musically, somewhere on the Americana road nearing the intersection of spiritually danceable Country-Rock and Country blues with lyrics that reflect understanding & insight like the headlights off a semi hauling faith east on an interstate highway in the middle of night.
How do I explain it?
With what words or phrases does the picture show
The deep abiding faith in You, of my life
It knocks me out
It does me in
A hard right hand straight to the chin
God is God, for certain
Without question or excuse, He is what He is
The one who sees and searches Him out is blessed
Like the sun, riding high
Above it all he’s eternally blessed
Clocks me out sometimes
Confused, bemused, though I really don’t mind
When the wind blows east as I’m heading west
I’m holding all the answers in an open Book test
As I’m walking downtown with a suitcase in my hand
I’m a vagabond walking in the promise of the
Promised Land
BIO:
I have been pursuing God all of my life. Though in the beginning it was from a position of utter ignorance and foolishness there came a point where His Spirit burst through my pride,vanity & self-will and I found myself making a very real conscious choice to know Him in wisdom and in grace. In that realization I was saved from a life of restless, nomadic, semi-melodic blue living and band drifting, completely by His grace, and have lived with a tried, true and ever growing trust in Him, through Jesus Christ, ever since. In the crucible of passing years, circumstances and experience my faith is now, to be sure, concretely proven to the mettle of what His Spirit is in me, ever expanding and flourishing with new insights every day of my life into His character and my place in Him. Consequently, I confidently and whole heartedly embrace the glory in being a child of God – content in the position and place He has for my life, times and talent.
By that same grace, absolutely and without question, the intention of my expression is to mirror Him in humble gratitude. I’ve been influenced musically by everyone I’ve ever heard or thought I heard, consciously, subconsciously and/or unconsciously, though first and foremost by the music of Hank Williams Sr., Bob Dylan and including but not limited to my erstwhile and now distant cousin, Johnny Cash and, by marriage, the Carter Family.
In understanding we are all reflectors in some sense I write/sing in my own purpose without a backward glance or peripheral nod to anything other than my spiritual conscience. My hope is the expression will insinuate itself in you.
