about

“East Street Stranger” was a new act in development during the 1980’s, designed to feature the distinctive voice and vocal deliveries of North Carolina front man and lead singer Billy George Hairston (tracks 6, 7 & 11).

This song, "Empty Room" – along with each of these three original songs – was prepared for the soundtrack of an upcoming new film, “Empty Room.”

As Hollywood scripts and productions often do, however, this project failed to materialize. Yet, the instrumental performances from these five future players who would later form The Front Porch Country Band remains an early hallmark of their musicianship and versatility.

It's cold here in the city always seems that way
The skies are blue but inside there's a cloud of grey
Kathy are you out there calling Kathy are you coming home soon
There's no one here, just your voice in this empty room

It's cold here in the country always seems that way
The skies are clear but there's clouds rolling 'round today
Laura are you out there laughing Laura are you lying alone
There's no one here just your voice on the telephone

It's cold here in the city always seems that way
The skies are clear but there's clouds rolling 'round today
Kathy are you out there calling Kathy are you coming home soon
There's no one here just your voice in this empty room
