about

“That Gal”” is the latest release “from Nick Cody & “The Heartache”
The track is about Scarlet Rivera who at the age of 19 played violin in Dylan’s 1975 band and on the classic Desire album.
The chorus from this song was inspired by Kit Baily (wife of international guitarist Martin Simpson commenting) “That Gal’s as cool as f**K!” on seeing Scarlet Rivera’s, in Martin Scorsese’s “Rolling Thunder Revue” documentary
For radio purposes there are no expletives in the single, but the track is littered with Bob Dylan references from this classic musical period.
On hearing this track, Scarlet Rivera commented
“I’m honored that you wrote this excellent song that memorializes my role on the Rolling Thunder Revue tour working closely with Bob Dylan, and love the lyrics!”
Peace & Music, Scarlet ✌🎻🙌

lyrics

That Gal’s as cool as ****
There’s a rolling thunder, sweeping through this town,
Marty’ s got his camera, to get the whole thing down
A hard rain is falling, to wash this sad away,
Music from the heavens playing night and day

Chorus
When Bobby sings with scarlet’s strings, the audience’s in luck
Sweetest sounds are ringing from the gal - she’s cool as …

She’s dancing with the twins respectful for the space,
Wild, withdrawn and silent behind this painted face,
Heading down to Brooklyn, for a taste of blue,
This simple twist of fate reveals all that’s true.

Chorus

A desire is forming down he Bitter End,
Isis in the headlights, messages to send
One more cup of coffee, sets aside the shy
A crossing of the stars, no time to wonder why

Chorus
