Moker Jarrett ASCAP with Lucky Stiff, a classic rock group from Jacksonville, Florida has released Ready to Fly a new CD under Run to the Sun Publishing/ASCAP.
Moker Jarrett grew up in the coastal area of Northeast Florida. His dad was a coach and one of his coaching buddies gave Moker his nickname at around age six. Obviously it stuck like glue. The folk masses at St. Paul's were among his first guitar/vocal conquests and that has turned into a lifetime of writing and performing songs. In addition to his dad, his granny and mom were big influences of his outlook on life. My wife gives me a huge dose of support to continue writing at this level. Country has become a favorite genre of Moker's and his main co-writer, Dale Peaden from Panama City Florida shares 13 of the 17 cuts on the recently released CD "Cut This". This team shares a mix of uptempos and heartfelt tunes and is sure to be on their way to garnering a string of country hits. You'll go away humming the melodies and chorus lines and these songs draw you in and make you feel like you're right there in the story. Still performing at local festivals Moker's group "Moker Jarrett with Lucky Stiff"a Jacksonville Florida based power trio is a collection of veteran performers (Moker Jarrett from Jacksonville, guitars, vocals, & songwriter, Jim Rohl,from Cincinnatti drums, Billy Smith, from Philadelphia, bass guitar, & vocals) commited to having a good time, writing cuttable original material for the country and pop/rock markets, and stayin' true to our roots of music with a groove. Music should make your body move!

Americana sytyle song about a fella too weak to keep it together enough to keep his girl around to enjoy, but he remembers...
Lyrics
Something I Can't Do   A cold December rain beating on my back door Wind howling like a stray dog in the night I pour myself another glass of loneliness Make believe that I can drink things right I know you're out there chasing rainbows Searching for the love we once knew Before these demons stole away my freedom And chained me to a life without you I remember Kisses in the morning Lovin every night Walking by the shoreline as The sun drops out of sight Promising forever I'd be there for you But now it seems forever Is just something I can’t do I swore to you that I could win this battle Another week or two and I'll be fine We can spend some time up in the mountains honey I can get things straight here in my mind. Time and time again I left you waiting A few more drinks to help me ease this pain Come home with a pocket full of stories And you're alone and crying once again I remember Kisses in the morning Lovin every night Walking by the shoreline as The sun drops out of sight Promising forever I'd be there for you But now it seems forever Is just something I can’t do Always knew that someday you'de be leaving Guess I never realized the cost The pleasure that I found inside that bottle Can't replace the love that I have lost Ah Kisses in the morning Lovin every night Walking by the shoreline as The sun drops out of sight Promising forever I'd be there for you But now it seems forever Is just something I can’t do Yeah it seems forever Is just something I can't do (C) Joe Ryan 2012/ All Right Reserved
