    Written during a busy year on the road, Things That Used To Shine is an album about leaving some things behind…and meeting others head-on. It’s also the studio debut of Wild Ponies, a Nashville-based outfit fronted by Virginia natives Doug and Telisha Williams, who have previously toured and recorded as acoustic folk duo Doug & Telisha.

    Released by Ditch Dog Records, Things That Used To Shine finds Telisha opening up about the skeletons that have haunted her closet for years. Grammy-winning producer Ray Kennedy (Steve Earle, Lucinda Williams) recorded the album’s 12 songs in three days, running the band’s harmonies through the same pre-amps once used by the Beatles. Casey Driessen, Russ Pahl, Jake Winebrenner and other heavy-hitting roots musicians also make appearances, beefing up the band’s songs with everything from organ to pedal steel.

lyrics

Chorus

Everything I own is just a little bit broken

Hope I can hold it together just a little bit longer



Transmission leaks and the radiator’s hot

I don’t know if we’re gonna make it or not

Two more days I’ll be off the road

Let it cool down lighten my load



Chorus

Everything I own is just a little bit broken

Hope I can hold it together just a little bit longer



Heavy on the down-beat another string’s busted

A couple spares left but they all look rusted

Shorted out cord and a 60 cycle hum

Bad ground wire makes my face go numb



Chorus



Bridge

Just a little bit of luck

I’m beggin’ please

Just a little break

Is all I need



Every time I think I might get ahead

Turn around look down I’ve been beaten

Here I am broken down once again

The only thing I can’t break is even



Chorus
