Bywater Call (CAN) performing "Holler" & "Kashmir" at the Moulin Blues Festival 2024 in Ospel, the Netherlands.

A műfaji határokat gyakran átlépő zenekar dinamikus, érzelemgazdag élő fellépéseiről ismert, melyekben erőteljes énekhangok és a zenekar tagjai közötti izgalmas összjáték dominál.

A kanadai Torontóból származó, hétfős, erőteljes southern soul és roots rock zenekar tagjai:

Meghan Parnell (ének),
Dave Barnes (gitár),
Bruce McCarthy (dob),
Mike Meusel (basszusgitár),
a legújabb tag, Andrew Moljgun (billentyűs hangszerek),
Stephen Dyte (trombita)
és Julian Nalli (tenorszaxofon).

2025-ben –miután kiterjedt turnét tettek Európában– jelölést kapott a UK Blues Award „Az év nemzetközi blues-művésze” kategóriájában a győztes Larkin Poe mellett. Idén a zenekar bekerült a díj legjobb 20 jelöltje közé, olyan műfaji nagynevek társaságában, mint a Larkin Poe, Joanne Shaw Taylor, Beth Hart, Christone „Kingfish” Ingram, Samantha Fish, Bobby Rush és a műfaj egyéb kiemelkedő alakjai.

A zenekar zenéje az élet hullámvölgyeinek feltárása. Az emberi érzelmek bonyolultságát feltáró meghitt balladáktól a teljes hangerőn való lejátszásra szólító, izgalmas himnuszokig terjedő repertoárjuk az emberi tapasztalatok útját járja be, olyan előadók hatását ötvözve, mint például a The Band, a The Wood Brothers, a Tedeschi Trucks Band, Otis Redding, a Little Feat, a Sly and the Family Stone és mások.

*** Holler

Too familiar in a stranger's home
Stumbling, but not for long
Chasing a good time like a sinking stone to the bottom down

Easy goes, they're all just sending, paid with the gold of God intending
Said what I said, Lord
I almost meant it
At the bottom now
A little peace before the dawn
Don't fight it, we ain't that strong

Let your old life holler
Won't you let your hair hang down
Won't you grab me by my collar and
Meet me on the ground

Come and find me when the coast is clear
The fog of town, God, no place here
Bring your blood and sweat, but leave the tears
At the bottom down
She won't regain your love, no
Let her know, let her know, it won't be long
Before you realize I've up and gone
To the bottom down

Enjoy the garden, fall is coming
Shed my skin to leave you something

Let your old life holler
Won't you let your hair hang down
Grab me by my collar and
Leave me, leave me on the
Let your old life holler
Let your hair hang down
Grab me by my collar and
Meet me on the ground
Won't you let your old life holler
Let your hair hang down
Grab me by my collar
Meet me on the ground
Won't you leave me on the ground, Lord
Leave me on the ground

*** Kashmir

Oh, let the sun beat down upon my face
With stars to fill my dreams
I am a traveler of both time and space
To be where I have been
Sit with elders of the gentle race
This world has seldom seen
Talk of days for which they sit and wait
All will be revealed

Talk and song from tongues of lilting grace
Whose sounds caress my ear
But not a word I heard could I relate
The story was quite clear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Ooh, baby, I been flying
No yeah, mama, there ain't no denying
Oh, ooh, yeah I've been flying
Mama, mama, ain't no denying, no denying

Oh, all I see turns to brown
As the sun burns the ground
And my eyes fill with sand
As I scan this wasted land
Trying to find, trying to find, where I've been

Oh, pilot of the storm who leaves no trace
Like thoughts inside a dream
Here is the path that led me to that place
Yellow desert stream
My Shangri-La beneath the summer moon
I will return again
Sure as the dust that floats high in June
When moving through Kashmir

Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails
Across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face
Along the straits of fear
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

Ooh

Oh, when I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah
When I see, when I see the way, you stay-yeah
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, when I'm down
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, but I'm down, so down
Ooh, my baby, ooh, my baby, let me take you there
Oh come on, oh, let me take you there... let me take you there
Ooh, yeah-yeah, ooh, yeah-yeah, let me take you there... let me take you there
