THE SKYGREEN LEOPARDS

Jehovah Surrender

The Skygreen Leopards present Jehovah Surrender, a six song EP that documents the changing of seasons in a world of whip-
poorwill moans. Electric guitar howl like a farmers hound, fuzz bass stampedes, and drums trot and gallop like the finest of
wild horses.

Donovan & Glenn write: “Not long ago the band was visiting a friend in Port Costa, California. After sharing a bottle of wine
and enjoying the moonlight dances of his two daughters—the friend wanted to share a secret. He pulled an oversized key out
of his overalls pocket and lead them out back to his shed. In the shed was an ancient drumset and a cobwebby electric guitar.
The man said he knew Arlo Guthrie and that he was once in a band called Hobo Splendor. Well thats all it took for the
Skygreen's to lose their hearts and heads to a new muse. We played All the Young Dudes and Hobo Jesus Blues all night long
and the daughters danced ballroom. This e.p. is inspired by the man from Hobo Splendor—get better my friend!”

“Met the man from Hobo Splendor

O Jehovah won’t you surrender

I'm going to give it to you

buffalo in the churchyard

crow crying on the fencepost

O Jehovah I surrender.”
