This came out in '92? from an Austin Band, but before today, I'd only heard it a couple of times (All in the last month on a PHX radio station).

 

A real toe-tapper that reminds me of the Blackshirts for some reason...

 

Soulhat-- Bonecrusher

Alternative countryfied version.

 

WHAT'S UP WITH THE BONECRUSHER? I HEAR IT EVERYWHERE.

 

We know: the song certainly has a life of it's own. As we said above, in Austin, you can hear Johnny Walker play the extended version on KLBJ-FM (93.7), every Friday afternoon at about 5:05 p.m. It can also be heard behind the awesome moves of a slightly-younger Hakeem Olajuwon on an NBA jams video cassette. It was also featured in the American video release of the animated feature film "Tekken." And lots of you around the country and world tell us that you've heard it and dig it.

 

The song evolved in 1992-93, in Austin and a live tour of the mid-Atlantic and east coast. It quickly became a crowd favorite, particularly as a closer, because of it's furious pace, epic length, and hilarious call-and-response section (in which Bill and Kevin traded barbs back and forth over their microphones). This section was later dropped from the song, entirely, though Kevin usually managed to draw-out live versions of the song with dadaesque monologues and plenty of non sequitur.

 

After the trio started-up in 1998, The Bonecrusher changed again, and started to pop-up during acoustic sets as a mad, rollicking, freight train-paced barnburner (similar in tempo to 2000's WNBA). NOTE: If you've never heard that version, you can here it here (for a limited time). This version is from 8/9/98 at the Saxon Pub in Austin.

 

Kevin later modified the "rocking" version to resemble the acoustic version by changing the song's chord structure.

Big Rock Candy Mountain by the Beat Farmers has been playing in my head most of the day.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,

There's a land that's fair and bright,

Where the handouts grow on bushes

And you sleep out every night.

Where the boxcars all are empty

And the sun shines every day

And the birds and the bees

And the cigarette trees

The lemonade springs

Where the bluebird sings

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

All the cops have wooden legs

And the bulldogs all have rubber teeth

And the hens lay soft-boiled eggs

The farmers' trees are full of fruit

And the barns are full of hay

Oh I'm bound to go

Where there ain't no snow

Where the rain don't fall

The winds don't blow

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

You never change your socks

And the little streams of alcohol

Come trickling down the rocks

The brakemen have to tip their hats

And the railway bulls are blind

There's a lake of stew

And of whiskey too

You can paddle all around it

In a big canoe

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains

 

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains,

The jails are made of tin.

And you can walk right out again,

As soon as you are in.

There ain't no short-handled shovels,

No axes, saws nor picks,

I'm bound to stay

Where you sleep all day,

Where they hung the jerk

That invented work

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains.

....

I'll see you all this coming fall

In the Big Rock Candy Mountains
