Sweet Talker was written for the Grapevine Opry's 21st Anniversary and appeared on my Xing Paths album. I had loads of fun emulating slide guitar/fuzz/picked guitar and the fiddle on synth for the CD arrangement. Curtis Randall (LeAnn Rimes) laid down the bass line on the track.
The theremin (with me) appeared for the 1st time at the Opry backed by the Opry band. Sweet Talker is American country meets Australian folk-rock!
Verse 1 : He brushed against me with cases in his hand
Said he was sorry while we waited for his band
Said I was an angel with dimples in my cheek
He was a little boy, not a man!
Chorus : Sweet talker with a rotten rap sheet,
Thanks to his mama he made it this far
Sweet talker, a misguided fact sheet,
He knows which side to butter yet.
Verse 2 : He looked in my eyes through the top of his shades
Said I was precious, he'd quit smokes for my sake
But he was messing around, with one of my friends
He was a little boy, not a man!
