about
I wrote this song with Sarah Jarosz which was featured on her album Undercurrent. It won a Grammy for Best AmericanRoots Performance in 2017.
lyrics
In the middle of the night again
Still water and the birds don't sing
Cold gin in the back room humming
Medicating for the trouble that's coming
Walls rattle like a diesel freighter
Blood races like a wave
This house wasn't meant for strangers
But you come knocking anyway
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
Don't try to change my mind
That knock gets louder all the time
Don't try to wear me down
You'll never get inside this house
Underneath that shirt you're wearing
Strained muscles and a heart of stone
Double crossing like a wild chameleon
You make me want to be alone
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy
Don't try to change my mind
That knock gets louder all the time
Don't try to wear me down
You'll never get inside this house
I can hear you knocking on the door
I won't leave it open for you anymore
I can hear you knocking on the door
Knocking on the door of the house of mercy

There is not much bettter than listening to Tom/Uncle Larry play the guitar and listen to his compositions. A true master !! If you like guitarists with touch and taste instead of showing off you will absolutely love this album !! vpo6
Margo Price's latest album tackles loss, failure, and freedom over lush pop, psychedelic country, and rock arrangements. Bandcamp New & Notable Jan 13, 2023
This guy (Tom, Uncle Larry, Session Man, etc.) is absolutely phenomenal. The sounds he creates melt my soul like Pink Floyd does. Long Live Uncle Larry! Chuck Conner
This is my favorite guitar instrumental album of 2021. Tom Bukovac also put out a solo album that year titled Plexi Soul. Both of these albums have been on repeat for a while. I need more like this. It's not always about how fast you can play......the more melodic the better. Jason Landry
