about

I've always been a fan of two things... Beautiful women and fly fishing. Both will frustrate you one minute and make you feel on top of the world the next. No matter how perfect the situation may look, you never know just what kind of day it's going to be. So you better be ready with that 1st cast and make it your best one, because you probably won't get another chance. I'm the "contemplating fool" who is still trying to land the perfect fish and catch the perfect woman.
The groove of this tune is sort of a combo of JT's "Me and My Guitar" with a slight Little Feet groove. When this song was being written I knew that I wanted my friend Jaret Carter to play Dobro on the final cut. Then as we were tracking we cut Aubrey Haney Lose on the second part of the solo. Needles to say I was amazed with the results.

lyrics

Catch My Drift
(JB, K. Manna(

Lord have mercy
Look at me
I got my chin in my hand
With my elbow on my knee
I’m a contemplating fool
It’s plain to see
I’m in over my head
And I’m outta my league

Something that you’ve done
To the shape of my heart
And the way that you move
It’s like a fine work of art
Just give a few moments
To readjust my mind
There’s a supernatural felling
That’s coming up the line

I’ll catch you in time
If I mend my line just right
It’s like poetry in motion
When you play with my emotions
My Spirits are starting to lift
When you catch my drift

And if the occasion should ever rise
I’ll be making up stories
And telling old lies
About how I landed you without a net
On a tiny tiny line
And I barley got wet

Girl you refused me
you pasted my by
This anticipations got my fever runnin’ high
Cause I love best
When you’re on the fly
And when my chance finally comes
I’m gonna keep my line tight

I’ll catch you in time
If I mend my line just right
It’s like poetry in motion
When you play with my emotions
My Spirits are starting to lift
When you catch my drift

(Solo)

I’ll catch you in time
If I mend my line just right
It’s like poetry in motion
When you play with my emotions
My Spirits are starting to lift
When you catch my drift

about

jonathan birchfield Charlotte, North Carolina

From the foothills of NC Jonathan has been entertaining and turning heads for 35 years. Think of Keith Richards and Merle Haggard jaming with Lynyrd Skynyrd. In an over saturated world of “bro-country”, country outlaw wannabes, JB has remained true to the roots of his musical past. JBs music has been described as an in your face, southern country, roots rock, from the southern heartland. ... more
