    NOMINATED FOR BEST RECORDING PACKAGE AT THE 2020 GRAMMYS! CD comes in a 7"x 7" sized sleeve designed by Onion Design Associates' Fongming Yang and Andrew Wong, who also earned a Grammy-nomination for our previous release "Formosa Medicine Show (2013)." To coincide with the album's themes, the CD design adopts color schemes and visual elements from traditional Taiwanese folk religion, mixed with 1950s Sci-fi kitch (Jug Band Futurism, if you will). Lyric sheets in English on one side and Chinese translations on the other. For more info on the design: www.behance.net/gallery/72382763/Hold-That-Tiger

lyrics

I've got rocks in my shoes
I guess I got those flip flop blues
Let the rain soak my feet
Let the water flood the streets

Blow those horns
And play me the temple blues

I don't want no doctor, don't need no priest
The river gives me what just I need
East is west and west is east
Don't sell me religion, please let me be

Blow those horns
And play me the temple blues

I've got rocks in my shoes
I guess I got those flip flop blues
Let the rain soak my feet
Let the water flood the streets

Blow those horns
And play me the temple blues

Late at night when I can't asleep
Frogs and cicadas sing to me
I miss you my friend, I always will
Bright as the moon shining on the windowsill

I might as well pray, I’ve got nothing to lose
Play me the temple blues
