about

The Lost Ark Studio presents "On The Road" by Old Salt Union, the latest single from the Lost Ark Studio Compilation - Vol. 09. Enjoy!

Old Salt Union are a new generation of bluegrass, influenced by the bluegrass roots of The Del McCoury Band and Sam Bush, but also drawing inspiration from Bill Evans, Danny Elfman, Punch Brothers, and many more talented musicians. What makes Old Salt Union special is their ability to stretch the boundaries of traditional bluegrass music by incorporating in-depth musical arrangements, a catchy hook, and an uncanny pop sensibility.

Old Salt Union recorded their debut album “Western Skies” in 2012 and it was clear by the overwhelmingly positive response that their fan base would grow rapidly in the following months. In January of 2014, Old Salt Union began exclusively touring the country, so that their reach would expand, exposing more fans to their type of complex, high energy, and well-executed sound.

With the release of their second studio album, “Bridge” in 2014, Old Salt Union tells a tale of transition. The two years that they have been together has shown that they are a force to be reckoned with in the world of music. They have established solid roots, winning the STL Riverfront Times “Best Bluegrass Band” in 2013 and “Best Country Band” in 2014, all while traveling the country. They have made appearances at the John Hartford Memorial Festival, Wakarusa, LouFest, and Yonder Mountain String Band’s Harvest Festival, sharing the stage with The Del McCoury Band, Sam Bush, Leftover Salmon, Jeff Austin Band, Greensky Bluegrass, Ricky Skaggs, and more – and no ma’am, they ain’t stopping yet.

lyrics

Old Salt Union - On The Road

The midnight oil burns in waves of infrared.
A girl carving Kerouac in wooden table legs.
And outside the weather became you and flung the gate.
Your interesting timing has kept me here awake.
Just beyond the breeze.
So much left to see.
It's worth a life to leave.

We chased the desert sun and settled for the coast.
Still we found our younger years are gone and missed the most.
And all around the burning wood there's tales of woe and shame.
In the middle of the night I'm reminded why I came.
Just beyond the breeze.
So much left to see.
It's worth a life to leave.

Live a thousand lives, it still takes your breath.
Nevermind your prime, and learn to love the rest.
You're stuck inside this paradigm you'll see,
You're free.
