5th South Music & Lyrics by The Hippy Coyote
88¢
Coyote wrote this lovely long song about his home on 500 South Street in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Pretty flute melodies and rich acoustic guitar passages lead a haunting hopeful journey through the many events Coyote endured in his humble 2nd story apartment.
The only song I can think to compare this to is, "Since I've Been Lovin' You," by Led Zepellin. Yes I know, but Coyote plays flute similar to Jimmy Page's guitar style.

This song is THE END of LEVEL 2 of American Zen's Buddhist Journey.
Check out the development through the lyrics. He's gone from an adult getting ripped off TO trying to understand his opponent TO reliving his childhood and singing of its' glories and wonders. Man to child.

Coyote said this girl had broken up with him, but kept visiting him until his new girlfriend chased her away.
(Too bad. She and I couldn't get along but we sure did get along. She knew how to get what she wanted from me.)

Great Salt Lake Music & Lyrics by The Hippy Coyote
88¢
First song from the second album by American Zen, LEVEL 2 = CHRIST KILLER. Features The Coyote leading this INSTRUMENTAL SONG on FLUTES and ACOUSTIC GUITARS.
A happy bouncy song similar to Jethro Tull, written by The Coyote. This song was recorded in Utah, but record producer, Richard O'Connor decided to start this song from scratch and rerecord it in Tujunga, California.
Wow! American Zen has a brand new sound that inspires a smile.
Similar to artists: Jethro Tull, hmmm -- has anybody out there heard someone similar to this song?

A Long Way Home Music & Lyrics by The Coyote
88¢
Psychedelic rock song telling the story of a
trip to a San Diego beach. Coyote's howl at the end depicts his heartfelt longing to be back in California, far from the Mormons.
(Did you know that San Diego is the end of the Mormon Trail? They created a line of settlements from Salt Lake City to San Diego, the Mormon harbor.)

Coyote claims that marriage is a chance to have sex every day.
(That's not what that means. It means that marriages should remove all the taboos and boundaries until you're left with whatever you want.)

Coyote seems to be giving a lot of thoughts to kids.
(You can't live in Utah without realizing they are a baby business. Their state logo is a beehive. They encourage lots of kids and they EXPECT every one of them to be a Mormon and give 15% of their income DIRECTLY TO THE CHURCH of Latter Day Saints.)

Peace Of Mind #1 Music & Lyrics by The Hippy Coyote
88¢
Although this song, "Peace Of Mind," was the first song written after Coyote moved to Utah, American Zen recorded it again, last year in Tujunga, California, and added to Coyote's second album. This battle to survive a harsh winter, being evicted, living out off his van with his cat... was only the beginning of his troubles. The Mormons didn't know he was here yet.
The two albums, LEVEL 1 = Peace Of Mind, and LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer, combine into a rock opera depicting The Hippy Coyote's battles with Mormons.
This bluesy acoustic guitar song has some heavenly vocals added by his zen buddies of American Zen. Nice acoustic guitar solo.
Similar to artists: Arlo Guthrie, Donovan, James Taylor, Beach Boys
Peace Of Mind #2 Music & Lyrics by
The Coyote
88¢
Folk
rock song story of a San Diego beach trip by Coyote. Coyote's 'nickel
passport' is his flute. He's rigged
up some way of strapping it to his Levi belt loops so it is like
a gun holster. T Rex's Marc Bolin could have written this. This song was written after the LEVEL 1 album was completed, to replace the original version, "Peace Of Mind," which will be on the second album, LEVEL 2 = Christ Killer.
(I like this song better.)

Simple Lady Music & Lyrics by The Coyote

Coyote, stranded in Utah, thinking of
someone who...
(This is a perfect example of why I can't tell anyone who this is about. It's romantic but perhaps embarrasing to the person I adore.)

Spring Rain Poetry Author & Narrator:

A quaint look at a spring downpour.
(Quaint? I'm not quaint. I would like to write poetry more often. I've probably not written my best poems that I wrote, but didn't write down... I've gotta get in the habit of carrying pen and paper more often. I'll remember, 'oh what was that cool riff I had at my head at the store. I've written a few songs driving in my car.)

Thank You Music & Lyrics by The Coyote
88¢
A pounding folk rock song that sounds
like early David Bowie.
(I think I should've let Rory put a blasting grunge on it. I was hoping for a thunderous acoustic sound by recording the acoustic guitars in stereo. You tell me, "did it work?")

Trust Me Music & Lyrics by The Coyote
88¢
A jingle composer, David Shields, challenged
Coyote to write this song. Coyote waited until he was inspired by
his newspaper delivery girl, Tina, before writing this song. "I
had to feel it before I'd even try to write it," explains our Cary Grant acting singer-songwriter.
(I know that movie, 'His Girl Friday,' or something like that. I'd like to argue with a girl like that girl in the movie. She was witty, sharp, fast, tough... hey, is that what I need in a woman? Hmm. Sharp - witty - fast and tough. Gotta get good manners in there somewhere though. The minute a girl barks at me, this dog is out the door.)
