Pedro Alberto I got to know this through Levi the Poet, and this album was a really nice surprise. Great, emotional stuff here. Favorite track: Anezka (feat. Levi the Poet).

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    This is a physical CD copy of Josh's 2011 full length album, "After the Flood, Into the Wild," released under the moniker Abraham the Poor. This 11-track album took a more bluesy, rocky, full-band approach than his previous solo acoustic EP. The lyrics range from brutally honest, heartfelt and painful to downright silly and nonsensical. This album's all over the place. Stylistically in the vein of Wilco, The Raconteurs or Black Crowes.

    Includes a soft-gatefold CD case with a 12-page full-color booklet, hand-written lyrics by Josh Gaines and original artwork by Caleb Davis.

    Includes immediate download of MP3's upon purchase. Free shipping to US.

Oh Lord, lay me down, down to the river where You make me clean. Oh Lord, raise me up, out of the water and back to life again. © Joshua Gaines 2011

Hominem 04:16
Oh, oh, oh! I open my eyes for the first time to light, brought out of the womb, but I cannot recall. Oh, oh, oh! My mind wasn't yet collecting memories, so I have to rely on what people say they saw. Oh, oh, oh! I've no recollection of my beginning, or how I survived the years that I couldn't fend for myself. Oh, oh, oh! Infancy is a mystery to me, it seems so fragile, yet the strongest thing of all. Oh, oh, oh! I've lost myself in the life of a young man, this world was built for me and I can hear it's call. Oh, oh, oh! I hate my brothers, and what they've become! But I am guilty of the same, guilty of it all... Bridge: And innocence in infancy cannot be taken literally, it is only a symbol of what's to come. And O! Humility! Where can you be? You leave as soon as we stop suckin' on our thumbs! Oh, oh, oh! God, this flesh is the weakest thing I know, and from this curse how can any man be saved? Oh, oh, oh! God, You have mercy on us all, this shell is just so prone to misbehave. © Joshua Gaines 2011
