lately she’s been striking matches so she can feel a flame
but all she’s got is a pile of ashes, no one calls her name
her hands are cold and empty, but there’s a fire in her soul
and tonight she’ll let it all go up in smoke
she’s setting the hills on fire
Lord, you best stay out her way
another man went and broke her heart
and now there’s hell to pay
instead of being lonely
she’s gonna set it all ablaze
she’s setting the hills on fire today
feeling like a burning ember somewhere in the wind
she’ll leave this place behind in cinders, to find herself again
the glow is growing steady, you can see from miles away
and it’ll go all night ‘til that fire takes all her pain
she’s setting the hills on fire
Lord, you best stay out her way
another man went and broke her heart
and now there’s hell to pay
instead of being lonely
she’s gonna set it all ablaze
she’s setting the hills on fire today
oh, she’s setting the hills on fire today

One of the best folk-country albums I’ve heard in years. Great singing & playing, and superb songwriting with clever turns of a lyric. Brennen just does everything really really well! Cas P
Kelsey Waldon’s latest is full of gritty, gutsy country-rock that draws on the genre’s traditions but adds razor-edged attitude. Bandcamp New & Notable Jul 20, 2019
Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
