“Cut n Run” is the title track of the EP, a stark, soul-tugging anthem about economic strain, and the fading promises of home. Five-day work weeks that don’t add up, dreams undone by rising costs, and the aching shift from collective pride to cultural polarization.
Florida Singer songwriter DeBlois Milledge says, “Call me DB. “
She’s headed for some blue highways with a beautiful 7 song collection, Cut n Run. This raw, unfiltered album looks at a nation in flux and a heart split down the middle.
With just an acoustic guitar and voice she reflects the sonic soul of the St. John’s River — tomboy prophet, river-barge poet. Her music lands somewhere between grit and grace, like her heroes Lucinda Williams and John Prine.
DB lives in Florida’s backwaters and spends her time writing porch songs and prayers. Her latest delivers river-born protest songs, sexy, hot, swampy, fed up and lazy. It was recorded live at the Harmony Studio in Nosara Costa Rica, where she was the artist in residence in 2024.
“Cut n Run” is the title track and lead single, a stark, soul-tugging anthem about economic strain, and the fading promises of home. Five-day workweeks that don’t add up, dreams undone by rising costs, and the aching shift from collective pride to cultural polarization.
“What I thought there was to be proud of / is an information war / and there’s nothing left to fight for if we all cut and run.”
But Cut n Run isn’t about giving up — it’s about finding out how much longer we can keep going when the middle class disappears, and the heartland forgets its heart. Let’s change our course and set one for loving one another.
