about

"Deb Morrison is back with cinematic gold with BLACKBIRD" ~ Hashtag Magazine

“It’s about looking death in the face and giving it a big ‘ole middle finger,” explains Morrison

The musically twisting-and-turning single is the second release from Morrison's upcoming Album 'The North Fork' (Blackbird Record Label Sept 9, 2022) and is accompanied by a cinematic, short film-style music video which premiered via The Bluegrass Situation. The “Blackbird” video keeps viewers on the edge of their seats with its haunting, ethereal visuals.

Deb Morrison's solo debut, The North Fork, is a melting-pot of American roots music, stocked with songs that blur the boundaries between alt-country, Americana, and roadhouse rock & roll. It's a genre-bending mix rooted in contemporary moves and classic influences, whipped into shape by a longtime traveler who's used to crossing borders.

The North Fork brings California to vivid life, filtering Morrison's songwriting through a prism of woozy West Coast sunshine, rolling hillsides, and the ghost-town desert landscapes that influenced so much of the album's creation. She sets the scene with the record's very first line — "Driving I-80 from the Bay to Big Blue" — and fills the remaining songs with the same mix of cinematic storytelling and smoky, sultry delivery that has already earned comparisons to Neko Case.

lyrics

"BLACKBIRD"
I see a blackbird comin’ for me
He’s hiding high up in that old oak tree
He don’t know I got the fight in me
Come on Come on Come on Come on

You keep tryin’
But I’m not buyin’

If that crow comes circling ‘round
I’ll be the first one to take him down
He don’t know I got the fight in me
Come on Come on Come on Come on

You keep tryin’
But I’m not buyin’

When I’m layin’ on the red dirt ground
Don’t think you can come and take me down
I ain’t got white flags flying around
Come on Come on Come on Come on

You keep callin’
But I’m not buying

I’m hiding high up in that old oak tree
I’ll take you down before you see me
She don’t know I got the fight in me
Come on Come on Come on Come on

When that crow comes circling ‘round
I’ll be the first one to take him down
He don’t know I got the fight in me
Come on Come on Come on Come on

You keep callin’
But I’m not buying

You keep calling you keep calling
you keep calling you keep
Get up get up get up get up
