this is the original version of LOVESICK BLUES.
HANK WILLIAMS learned the song when he heard EMMETT MILLER (the greatest black minstrel) perform it in a medicine show.
more minstrel information on skorecki.blogspot.co m (more)
from TRAVELIN' MAN, his fabulous last record (great liner notes and production by peter guralnick/and son, as good as their work on PICTURES AND PAINTINGS, charlie rich's "testament in music").
please check the two BEAR FAMILY'S monumental boxes.
1954 greatest version by sarah (also jimmy jones on piano, paul quinichette (tenor), herbie mann (flute), joe benjamin (bass), roy haynes (dms), and the whole song is arranges and conducted byy ernie wilkins) ...
this is one thousand times better than the other version i posted yesteday of same song by sarah ...please compare, and enjoy
desolation row, best version ever?
(i'm really sorry for the sound, this is the best i could do, but as soon as i find a way to cut it directly from 13 minutes to ten and something, i'll re-post it ...)
une dispute, à libération
la scène se passe au journal libération il y a six mois, lors d'un comité de rédaction commun libération/charlie hebdo, destiné une fois de plus, via la republication des "carricatures", à se faire de la pub sur le dos des arabes.
le mec qui s'énerve, c'est moi.
c'est un extrait d'un film inédit, SKORECKI DEMENAGE.
one of his greatest concerts, my second melbourne post after JUST LIKE TOM THUMB'S BLUES yesterday (8 more to come .. as brilliant and poetic and inspired as these two broken songs ....when i have the time) (part two of ten)
somewhere between a young blossom dearie and an even younger billie holiday, with a touch of julie london and allison statton (young marble giants), she recorded only six lps and comitted suicide in 1960. she was an angel of a singer. she was 28.
legendary concert, there are four more songs but ill post only 3 cause DESOLATION ROW lasts 12,49 minutes and i can't find a way to cut it (it's easy to cut at beginning and end in the song but ... i don't know how to do it with i movie -si quelqu'un sait comment faire, any kind of help sera bienvenue ...)
the last masterpiece by peggy lee (and benny carter), nothing compares to that.
it comes from BENNY CARTER'S SONG BOOK, the composer of the song, who was nearly 90 years old at the time, but who still plays divinely on these sessions.
very rare track, i really hope some people out there love it as much as i do....
