Great example of how songs are crafted. Henley and Frey had most of it, but key part ("I'm going back in time...go on dreaming")was written by J.D.Souther.
Tribute to the great Richard Manuel about whom Eric Clapton said: "For me he was the true light of The Band. There was something of the holy madman about Richard. He was raw. When he sang in that high falsetto the hair on my neck would stand on end. Not many people can do that."
Written in 1945, recorded by Nat King Cole, Bill Evans, Tony Bennett, and Chet Atkins, and many others. Elvis heard Top 10 1962 version by Ketty Lester, who was from Clinton's home of Hope, Arkansas.
From 1952. Features the 21 year old Sam Cooke, but the other lead vocalist holds his own. The pictures are from the Library of Congress's Lomax Collection, photographs made in the course of sound recording expeditions carried out by John Avery Lomax, Alan Lomax, and Ruby Terrill Lomax, between 1934 and ca. 1950 for the Archive of American Folk-Song.
Snock, Kornbread, Jocko, all aliases of this sly musical expeditionary. Bascom Lamar Lunsford, Charlie Poole, Hank Williams, Spike Jones, Slim Harpo, Groucho Marx, Captain Beefheart, there's a bit of all of these and a thousand other voices and styles. From his great 1971 LP "Armchair Boogie".
Tribute to Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr., a founding father of America as important as any of the Dead Presidents. Tried to make the pictures tell a story. Stevie wrote this to add his voice to the call for making King's birthday a national holiday.
