    "Now, 25 years later, a much-needed anthology of Raging Fire's recordings has arrived to secure their legacy in the digital age. Everything Is Roses 1985-1989, due Oct. 6, is a collection of all the band's vital recordings, many of which are previously unreleased, some having been painstakingly mastered from dusty old cassettes. The vinyl packaging is stunning, with a lavish 12-page booklet full of notes, lyrics, photos, show fliers, etc., plus a 24-song download.”

    --Nashville Scene October 1, 2015

    "Raging Fire could pull back and give hints of their Nashville origins, but the band’s dynamic rock ‘n’ roll rage was more in line with the barking poetry of Patti Smith, post-punk of X than southern rock or country twang. Even the band’s acoustic numbers, such as “After Loving One Man From East Texas,” have some bite."

    --No Depression, 2015

I brushed my hair and tripped down the stairs into another Monday - what would my mother say? I heard the door slam a thousand times and you left me - but I know “its a family thing” she said it one time she said it two times then she stopped eating and started drinking we always hear the blues in my mother’s house “if you love me keep yourself clean stop knocking around with every guy town” she said it one time she said it two times then she stopped eating and started drinking we always hear the blues in my mother’s house I heard the door slam and then she left me but it’s just a family thing

Back down boy, you’re breaking my bones Loving so forcefully, forgetting it was me White baby, you better turn your stereo down Too much is too much for me - just a kiss won’t do for you Hold on now, its political We just bounce off one another “Tell me about me, let’s forget about you” Passion in life just doesn’t include Passion for life or others besides you I think you love before you think Turn down the noise, go back to bed Use your newspaper to clean your windows with And after all the fires and all the bloodshed You haven’t come very far You haven’t had your own war yet Ok - so it felt good and God smiled And the world turned green I’ll have another beer and some news on TV You can call it love but the word lacks a lot Back down boy, you’re breaking my bones Loving so forcefully, forgetting it was me White baby, you better turn your stereo down Too much is too much for me - just a kiss won’t do for you

Spent too much on polyester and chocolate Chocolate always bitter sweet She knew God had to hate her and that He couldn’t hate She felt He couldn’t love her, God had to hate to hate She sang for change but the chorus remained Tears for him, tears for her A mascara face and pillowcase The mirror always holds the demon grief Talk to Him when you can, Much too old to exorcise her Demons Cause Demons will grow with time (like trees) To live a long life on Church Street
