    Into the Great Unknown takes Bradford’s trademark soulful Roots/Americana sound and digs deep to an uncharted depth. He crafts passionately hopeful melodies to carry you through the gritty conditions of Southern slavery in Get on That Train. Stampede uses a haunting refrain and soaring strings to paint desperately beautiful imagery. See You On the Other Side and Dead Man’s Dance employ powerful intricate melodies that will get your feet stomping.
    In depth, breadth, feel and composition, Into the Great Unknown is a bolder more daring leap for this songwriter whose original debut was just a foreshadow of his extraordinary talent.

lyrics

O my love, when my days are done, and my bones have been put to rest
When my graven stone has found its home, may you not be bereft
Don’t waste your prayers on a wretch like me
My hearts been giv’n to wandering
All the things I’ve done since the war begun, I could never be free

Wait my beleaguered love brings hope don’t set that stone
Though you feel meager, your heart may roam but mine will be your home
Wake, O you sleeper there is still hope roll away that stone
Wake, O you sleeper there is still hope roll away that stone

Come on up, rise on up, get out of that grave my Lazarus
Come on up, rise on up, get out of that grave sweet Lazarus

Go on get up Lazarus go on get out the grave
Oh you ain’t never seen nothing like a dead man dance (Repeat x 3)



Chorus
