  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Kidder's Son EP. 2017 Loud Folk Record's five track CD EP

    The first U.S. release by Northern Irish native, Leslie Rich and his band, The Rocket Soul Choir.

    in 2015, Leslie re-formed the Rocket Soul Choir with long time friend, Jason Wahl (The Skullcranes, Sawbones) and Minneapolis stalwart, Pete Boulger (Grande Machine, Dander, Church Of Cash).

    The Kidder’s Son EP was pulled together from an expanding catalogue of Leslie’s songs since leaving the Celtic band, Hounds Of Finn in 2014. Returning to Leslie’s rock and roll roots, the tracks revolve around fearlessness (Blindly Moving Anyway), not being fooled twice (Kidder’s Son), day-old love (Long Line Of Fools), spirituality (Kind Of A Love Song) and rejection (Qualified). It’s a hopeful and forceful record.

    Broken apart, production is spacious, but all the more potent for it.

    Includes unlimited streaming of Kidder's Son via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

about

There's a plan for everyone. There's a place you're supposed to be and a dream you're supposed to be living. We get distracted everyday from our dreams and our plans for ourselves by the whisperers and the detractors - Kidder's Son says, that when you know they're cheating and lying and stealing your time away that knowledge is armor itself. No point trying to kid a kidder. I'm going to take back the dreams I had, I'm going to follow the plan that was made for me and I'll fight you for it... just bring it on!

lyrics

The weekend comes
And I say, "Oh Lord, what have I done with the time?"
What an awful waste of space
This time I resign
Myself to the will of whatever happens
Although not to be that preconceived

If I want it back, what I've always lacked
What you stole from me
If the demons come, with the morning sun
I'll be waiting
Because I can lie, I can cheat and steal
And I have
You can't kid a kidder, son

It's all thrown up
Up into the air to see where it falls and this time
I don't care where we land
And I hold my head
Up high above the stormy water
That you dare to, throw me into

If I want it back, what I've always lacked
What you stole from me
If the demons come, with the morning sun
I'll be waiting
Because I can lie, I can cheat and steal
And I have
You can't kid a kidder, son

Where have we been
And I can't remember the path that we took
But all of the signs seem so familiar

If I want it back, what I've always lacked
What you stole from me
If the demons come, with the morning sun
I'll be waiting
If I want it back, what I've always lacked
What you stole from me
If the demons come, with the morning sun
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
I'll be waiting
You can't kid a kidder, son
