Allison Russell - All Of The Women (Lyric Video) drums backing track
Built for players who want to hear the groove more clearly and get to practice without detours.
About this version
Some drum parts make sense on paper and still feel odd under your hands. This version is for closing that gap a bit faster.
Useful for
working on groove and feel
Useful for
cleaning up fills and transitions
Useful for
repeating the section before the section that usually goes wrong
A simple way in
A version for hearing the groove, fills, and transitions more clearly while keeping the shape of the original song intact.
Start with the tricky section, not the whole song. A few good repetitions usually tell you more than one rushed pass from top to bottom.
Once it feels settled, go back to the full arrangement and check whether it still holds together. That is usually where the real answer is.
Notes
"All of the Women" is from Allison Russell's first ever solo project, Outside Child (produced by Dan Knobler).

I had a day job when I lived out West. I was a front-line mental health worker for almost 7 years in the Downtown Eastside of Vancouver (aka DTES, the poorest postal code, heart of the homelessness crisis and fentanyl/opioid crisis in Canada), from 19 until I was 26. I worked for two harm reduction initiatives- the PHS - a low threshold housing society, and Insite - the first ever safe injection site in North America. Most of our residents/participants were dual diagnosis- addiction, and mental illness. Most of the women in that community had histories and stories akin to mine. I was constantly afraid for the women working in the sex trade especially- I moved to Vancouver amidst the ongoing Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women Epidemic which has yet to be addressed by law-enforcement. Law enforcement have committed some of the murders...It is more perilous to be a woman in every culture and society. Even more perilous to be an Indigenous woman, or a Black woman, or a Trans woman… Shirley was luminous and so kind to me as I got to know the parameters of my caregiving jobs, and the complex and close-knit community that I served and came to love and identify with deeply. She was indomitable, and I miss her.- A Follow Allison Russell: Instagram: https://found.ee/AllisonRussellInstagram Twitter: https://found.ee/AllisonRussellTwitter Facebook: https://found.ee/AllisonRussellFacebook Lyrics: She's been a fixture as long as I've lived here On the corner most every night for the last six years When she's not there When she’s not there When she’s not there I worry about her worry about her I think of all of the women All of the women All of the women Who disappear Who disappear We’ve made friendly acquaintance, sometimes we talk, she likes the way that I smile and sing as I walk I like her fabulous outfits, the proud way she moves, she says "I used to be a dancer... some grace you don't lose Some grace you don’t lose I made some choices, some were made for me For the way I survive - I make no apology Everybody and somebody don't always meet up, I'm the salvation for those left without For those left without, those living small lies, what I provide can’t be measured in nickels and dimes, in nickels and dimes” I ask what about the bad dates, don’t you ever get scared? “Well I’ve had my share honey, but it’s fear I can bear, it’s fear I can bear Cause I'm stronger than eggshells, I'm tougher than luck, I’ve never been despised so much or hit so hard, or hit so hard I couldn't get back up I couldn't get back up I couldn't get back up.” She's been a fixture as long as I've lived here On the corner most every night for the last six years When she's not there When she’s not there When she’s not there I worry about her I worry about her Think of all of the women All of the women All of the women All of the women All of the women All of the women Who disappear Who disappear Who disappear Who disappear AllisonRussell #AlloftheWomen #OutsideChild -- Lyric Video artwork by Niki Smith Frazier; edited by Frankie Cepero; graphics by Andy Hawkes -- The Community of Artists in alphabetical order: Jason Burger- drums, percussion, apple cider vinegar bottle Steve Dawson- pedal steel Jamie Dick- drums, percussion Dan Knobler- guitars, slide guitar, banjo, synths, mellotron Drew Lindsay- Rhodes, Wurlitzer, Mellotron, pump organ, organ, piano Alfreda McCrary- harmony vocals Ann McCrary- harmony vocals Deborah McCrary- harmony vocals Regina McCrary- harmony vocals Chris Merrill- bass Ruth Moody- harmony vocals JT Nero- acoustic guitar, vocals, co-writing Joe Pisapia- acoustic and electric guitars Erin Rae- harmony vocals Allison Russell- songwriting, writing, lead vocals, harmony vocals on Montreal and Nightflyer, clarinet, banjo Jake Sherman- organ on 4th Day Prayer Yola (appears courtesy of Easy Eye Sound)- harmony vocals on The Runner Produced by Dan Knobler Engineered by Kevin Sokolnicki & Dan Knobler Recorded at Sound Emporium, Studio A, in Nashville - September 18-21, 2019 Assistant engineer: Zaq Reynolds Additional recording at Goosehead Palace Organ on ""4th Day Prayer"" recorded by Jon Seale at Mason Jar Music Mixed by Dan Knobler Mastered by Kim Rosen, Knack Mastering Outside Child, an album by Allison Russell 1.
