Home 02:23
Its the longest rode I'e been on, raises dirt from miles around. And I cant wait to get to your house- nobody knows I"m in town. And I get this feeling, when I'm walkin towards your door, I'm kickin rocks and it hits me, baby, I can't see you anymore I can only sleep when I'm there, cicadas wake up just to sing for me, the wind told me everything that happened here, the cottonwood sheds its mystery. And I don't like to stargaze, makes me feel so alone. I'll pretend you're here beside me, baby, You can never go back home Saw this guy painting on this old house and I say "what's so good about this place"? He said; "I can hear here laughing". He sadi, "I can see her face".

Union Horse 01:46
star gazer, sun catcher, I know i just drew slack, crow hopper, arm jerker, don't ball out don't break my back, union horse, 8 seconds, honest bucker till the buzzer sounds, pick up man, come and get me, put me on the ground, I wanna go to the rodeo, There's the fastest roper, on the second row... Suck back, sway back, big ol ugly coffin head, shoot fighter, he's a floater, just an outlaw of a thoroughbred, give a nod, pray to God, H'es a high roller and I stay on, entry fee, penalty, no time next rodeo for me. I wanna kiss from the rodeo queen- she's the toughest gal that I've ever seen.

When you slumber, oh so deep. I hate to think you would weep. You may never know it but I'm singing to you in your sleep. I'll send my song, across the mountain, through the ocean, to your stream, through the wheat fields and like a siren, I'll call your name, in your dreams. When you're workin oh so hard, and you're up with the morning star, you may never know it, but I'm singin to you in your heart. I'll send my song across the mountain, through the ocean, to your stream, through the wheat filelds and like a siren, I'll call your name, in your dreams And when you're aching down to your feet and you're weary and you're beat. you may never know it but I'm singing to you in your sleep. You may never know it but I'm lovin you in your sleep

about

Reviews:
From Nadamuco's Seattle Bands to watch 2017
Admission: I’m usually turned off by solo harmonica and acoustic guitar together, but one-woman-band Zelda Starfire’s fast and brutal Hasil Adkins style country punk lifts me to the high heavens. Lo-Fi and human, with short songs with great names like “Chicken Killin” and “Never Drinking Again,” Zelda has personality and style coming out of her ears. – Glenn Smith

Zelda is genius. Was blown away 10 seconds into “Never Drinking Again.” – Jim Toohey

Yep. This kills. – Graham Isaac

As a one man band and a writer specialized in one man/woman bands I come across a lot of acts but Zelda Starfire has always held a special place in my monoband heart. From afar I watched her evolution pretty much from the beginning. She has kept the fire burning that she had when she first began but honed it into a blow torch.
Her songs are rough and biting with echoes of the blues, country and punk a bit like Jessie Mae Hemphill (legendary blues one woman band) sped up on overdrive. Zelda's grit and wildness come through in the same way that Hasil Adkins (probably the most legendary one man band of all time) could go seemingly completely crazy with hand, feet and voice yet keeping it all together to the point that she's not playing guitar, drums, harmonica and singing but making music that starts straight in the heart and explodes through her every appendage all at the same time!
Her latest recordings are a treat and we can't wait for more!
