Industry Reviews

"Is this Buckingham Nicks or is it Gray Parlee?” Is a question you might ask as you listen to the new single from JJ ROOTS. “Boxcars and Memoirs” is a bangar that will have you movin’ and groovin"

Martin Hickey, Halifax MusicPhile

Although relatively new as a musical team 
(JJ ROOTS) the years of experience between Jeff 
and Jocelyn are evident in the release of their 
recent single Boxcars and Memoirs. Brilliantly 
written and masterfully performed, Jeff & Jocelyn 
have once again proven that JJ Roots is a 
musical force to be reckoned with.

Official Lyrics

Verse 1
There’s a magical rhythm, in those cold steel tracks
Whistling it’s lonesome lullaby, Like an echo from the past
All aboard you hear it calling, Magnet to steel you feel it pulling
Feel the wind of time blow by your face, Let it take you away..

Verse 2
Rusted strings on a worn out box, old cracked hands and whiskey shots
Weaver of rhymes from town to town, Those Haggard roots make the purest sound
All aboard you hear him calling, Magnet to steel you feel him pulling
Hear the magic in that tattered open case, Let him take you away…

Verse 3
Rocking steel boxcars, packed with memories and memoirs
A ragged breath from the past, Smoke still billows from it’s stack
Thunder cloaked in a misty vale, Iron dark horse on an endless trail
Feel the wind of time blow by your face, Let it take you away..

Rusted steel boxcars, packed with memories and memoirs
