about

He was such a book worm as a child that kids at summer camp would give Stephen Beyer the name "Blister King". His mother strongly encouraged him to get into athletics so that he may be a more rounded child (which he seemed to take to the extreme when he got arrested for under-age drinking at Stanford). Also referenced in this song are his surprising opinions in favor of corporations over individuals and his almost categorical distaste of government regulation.

lyrics

blister king / who wants to hear about your tender feet / you'd always rather go home and read / but your mother had to push you on to the field / blister king / sticking up for the corporate hacks / getting the government off their backs / how would your mother feel about that / blister king / while the country works to make a home / their future rises and falls with your every vote / don't tell them their struggle is a joke / blister king / get out on the field

about

While rooted in folk, the soundscapes in which Nashville artist/producer Josh Fuson tells his stories vary from intimate vocals over an acoustic guitar to lush arrangements of soaring keys, weaving electric guitars, and anchoring drums and bass.
