The world, our world, as something we can almost hold in our hands, but not quite -- it's a theme that runs through our 2022 album THE HIGHWAY MOVES THE WORLD. You can hear it in the lyrics, you can see it in the music-videos for "Lisbet Cries" and the title track. And you can wear it! For print-to-order on additional sizes, please visit pinkertonraid.com/merch
"Lisbet Cries" is a tribute to my sister Suzanne "Elisabeth," who from a baby has always felt the pain of the world a bit more intensely than other people. Volunteering internationally in developing communities during gaps in her college years, she found her calling as a schoolteacher and brought that passion back to North Carolina. The toddler who was constantly crying became an empathetic woman feeling others' pain. Maybe you have people like that in your life. -- Jesse James DeConto
lyrics
The child's crying for her mama, it's a story old as time
Dear sister keeps on carrying on, from sunrise till the morning light
I walked her to the schoolbus in the thousand mile dew
She held my hand, we cried goodbye, a child I hardly knew
Lisbet cries for mama's arms and mama's arms can't reach
Around the world, to brace the tattered seams
The child's crying for her mama, it's a story old as time
Dear sister, grown, she holds back the tears
while mama feeds her broken child
She needs someone to care for her, old Johnny breaks her down
She don't leave home without a happy face
She's paid to smile, by the hour
Lisbet, Lisbet, she's got no child. She's got no child at home
She tells them stories, hears their own, listens for what no one knows

Words seem too simple to describe the energy and joy and humanity of this music and these people ... there's just life in it, is all we can say. The Pinkerton Raid
Sean is a provocateur and an entertainer -- he recalls Dylan's later flamboyance, Bowie's baritone, Prince's musicianship. There's just so much good and beautiful in what he does. The Pinkerton Raid
Wonderful... some of Hiatt's best songs are here. I've been a fan since Riding with the King. This is gloriously played, too. What a band. anthonytoner
