“On his new album Thy Burdens, he creates a completely new type of music on his own: Cosmic Gospel… sounds like a marriage between Otis Redding and The Band.”
– Klanderman Productions, The Netherlands
Drunken Prayer transcends the bounds of Americana music.
Morgan Geer writes songs that could emerge from a highly
blissed-out biker bar or a swampy ashram.
Drunken Prayer of 2025 plays a kind of holy blues. The new record, Thy Burdens (6/6/25), is an homage to the fiery music of the church. Morgan learned most of these hymns from his great grandmother in Mobile, AL.
Partnering with Drive-By Truckers’ Bobby Matt Patton, the pair recorded this album in North Mississippi with some of their friends from Appalachia and the Delta.
Drunken Prayer is a stalwart of the burgeoning scene in
Asheville, NC., and Morgan Geer has recorded and toured with some of the cornerstones of what we call modern Americana music.
“It's Americana in the sense that America is a place of menace, hybrid vigor and unending
strangeness.”

“Something hit me very hard once, thinking about what one little man could do. Think of the Queen Elizabeth again: The whole ship goes by and then comes the rudder. And there’s a tiny thing on the edge of the rudder called a trim tab. It’s a miniature rudder. Just moving that little trim tab builds a low pressure that pulls the rudder around. It takes almost no effort at all. So I said that the individual can be a trim tab. Society thinks it’s going right by you, that it’s left you altogether. But if you’re doing dynamic things mentally, the fact is that you can just put your foot out like that and the whole ship of state is going to turn around.
So I said, ‘Call me Trim Tab.’“
- Buckminster Fuller
