The Seed 1:56 Total Time: 54 min From The Union (October 16, 2008) by Paul August: “Quietly Raging,” the title of the new CD by Dakota Sid and Travers Clifford, offers a quiet guitar and mandolin as bedrock to lyrics of protest, local history, religion and Americana adventures. Songs meander through the American landscape: Detroit City, New York, and Tennessee. “Folks out in California … living in the Sierra mountains / got beachfront property.” Sid sings of cataclysmic fears with a sense of humor. “Nuclear waste all over the place.” Religion is laced with skepticism. “I’m a friend to you Jesus, even though I don’t believe. (Sometimes) … I just need to pray.” And he leaves us with his obituary: “Just leave my body on the mountain / to feed the bears some grizzled meat.” Songs reflect on various sub cultures. “… you tried to kick that biker / and got your foot caught in the spoke.” And pose philosophical observations: “We’re never here to pick the crop / we only plant the seed.” One song is about his “beat up back road car” called, “Sally.” But he’s never far from a social comment. “Look at that air, so plain to see. / That ain’t the way air used to be.” There’s a consistent whimsical tone here. “I don’t care much about sushi / or tubs full of folks in birthday suits. / I’d just as soon be howlin’ at the moon / in my jeans and cowboy boots.” The songs are deceptively simple. He follows monosyllable words with a polysyllabic double whammy “… wet boots and underwear. Incriminating evidence.” His socially conscious similes sparkle with imagery. “… wallowing like a sea bird in the Exxon oil spill.” This is a local singer-songwriter who sings about local history. “The Ballad of Wild Bill Ebaugh,” sounds more like a fascinating documentary than a country tune.
