"That life, it is contagious, and it gets down in your blood",
By
This review is from: Corpus Christi Bay (MP3 Download)
Corpus Christi Bay may not be as well known as big a crowd pleaser as The Road Goes on Forever (a great song in its own right), but it's as pitch perfect as a song gets. It's as poetic as Byron, tells as good a story as any Americana song, and a deep streak of melancholy lurking beneath its surface. That subtle melancholy is nowhere more stark than in the line, after his brother visits him (still in Corpus Christi Bay): "He said he finally gave up drinking, then he ordered me a beer." Life for his brother has moved on, and he's still mired in the same place. What's worse, his brother doesn't contemplate him doing so. He's marked incorrigible. And is there a less hopeful line than, "if I could live my life all over, it wouldn't matter anyway, because I never could stay sober"?
