** 2022 CMAA 'Golden Guitar' nomination for 'Bluegrass Recording of the Year' **

Winners of the 2021 Golden Guitar for Instrumental of the Year, world-beating alt. country duo The Weeping Willows plunge headlong into darkness once again with brooding new single ‘Black Crow’. Encroaching doom never sounded so sweet. Rooted in ageless Americana tradition and shivering with misgiving, ‘Black Crow’ is yet further proof that The Weeping Willows’ celebrated vocal harmony is as exquisitely suited to tales of murder as it is to a delicate love song. Ranking among Australia’s foremost songwriters, lighting a path through the cloistered under-canopy and dim-lighted thickets of the soul, The Weeping Willows have netted eight CMAA Golden Guitar nominations, and have supported Americana luminaries from Lukas Nelson & Promise of the Real (USA) to Iris Dement (USA). With ‘Black Crow’, The Weeping Willows reprise the thrilling Gothicism of critically acclaimed sophomore album Before Darkness Comes A-Callin' (2016). Bleakly arresting, ‘Black Crow’ is yet another unmissable taste of The Weeping Willows’ long-awaited third studio album and confirms the duo as Australia’s foremost vivisectors of the human condition and the shadowy forces that bind us to the earth...

lyrics

Lyrics:
Today, the black crow found me,
The sins in my eyes it could see.
It saw the life I stole,
Now it’s waitin’ for my soul.
Today the black crow found me.

Tonight, the black crow followed me,
Perched high upon the willow tree.
I buried all my crimes,
But I’m running outta time.
Tonight, the black crow followed me.

This mornin’ the black crow guards me,
In chains so I can never flee.
They found the life I stole,
Now I’m hanging from the pole.
This mornin’ the black crow guards me.

That evenin’ the black crow found me,
The darkness in my eyes it could see,
No mercy for my soul,
Now I’m bound down below.
That evenin’ the black crow found me.

Forever the black crow watches with me,
Perched high on my grave for all to see.
A warning to us all,
You reap what you sow.
Forever the black crow watches with me,
Forever the black crow watches with me.
Forever the black crow stays with me.
