This is a terrific album...highly recommended !


Downey Girl is Karen Carpenter

There was once a young girl
Lived in my hometown
She became a star
The whole world round

With the Voice of an Angel
Singin’ sweet suburban songs
No one in our whole town
Knew anything was wrong

She was a Downey Girl
She was a Downey Girl

Well I never liked her music
I never saw her hangin’ round
And I never said nothin’
When people put her down.

Now that I’m older
I can understand her pain
And I can feel a little pride
When people say her name

Cuz she was a Downey Girl
Cuz she was a Downey Girl

Now I’m on the highway
A thousand years from my hometown
Missing friends and family who are no longer around
Then I hear her sing
On the car radio
A sweet suburban song from a long time ago
And I think about her sadness
And I think about her pain
And for a few sweet minutes
I’m back home again

She was a Downey Girl
She was a Downey Girl

Hello Kush,

Thanks for your postings here. I hope to see Mr. Alvin when he next visits the UK.

Glad you enjoy Dave Alvin's music, Tony. He will be in Chicago next week with Jimmie Dale Gilmore, I might try and make it. Here are some more songs:

Thanks for the links, Kush. I am sure that it will not surprise you that I have already seen them. I really enjoy listening to his music. I hope you manage to get to his concert. Maybe he will let slip if he is going to be in the UK at any time in the near future.

This title song from his 2004 album says it all, he bares his soul and his thoughts.
