ain't no place i'd rather be
 

we had the privilege of seeing Lucinda Williams last night. This is my girls fav song by her.

Unsuffer Me


Unlock my love
and set me free
come fill me up
with ecstasy

surround my heartbeat
with your fingertips
unbound my feet
untie my wrists

come in to my world
of loneliness
and wickedness
and bitterness
Unlock my love

Unsuffer me
Take away the pain
Unbruise unbloddy
Wash away the stain
Anoint my head
With your sweet kiss
My joy is dead
I long for bliss

I long for knowledge
Whisper in my ear
Undo my logic, undo my fear
Unsuffer me

Unlock my love
And set me free
come fill me up
with ecstasy
unsuffer me
Take away the pain
Unbruise unbloddy
Wash away the stain

surround my heartbeat
with your fingertips
unbound my feet
untie my wrists

come in to my world
of loneliness
and wickedness
and bitterness
Anoint my head
With your sweet kiss
My joy is dead
I long for bliss

I long for knowledge
Whisper in my ear
Undo my logic, undo my fear
Unsuffer me

there's no pain I can feel no more!
 

a tribute to 1988

Melissa E's first album, Similar Features



Lucinda Williams' 1988 album, Sweet Old World



Michelle Shocked's second album Short Sharp Shocked ( which brought attention to her very cool first release Texas Campfire Tapes

ever stumble upon someone whose entire being IS music? I don't know how I have missed this man but lawd knows the girl will be uploading a lot of new stuff onto my mp3 this weekend...hope someone out there enjoys his gift as much as I do...

Blues Guitar:



Mouth Harp:



Fiddlin around:



This was one of his later performances in 2000. He was 77 then. His career spanned 1945 through his last album release, Timeless, in 2004. He died in 2005. I am just in awe. Thanks for allowing my moment of indulgence.

it's a day of discovery... yay! I swear I will stop posting and go work on my shed right.after.this.next.song...... ahem... mebbe...

Barbra Lynn! Perhaps the love child of Nina Simone and James Brown. She is hawt. Another Texan, she is still kicking it at 69! Maybe that means 50 really is the new 30!

Her biggest hit:

( If you should lose me) You'll lose a good thing



Until then I'll Suffer



A 1960's live televised recording. She is an amazing guitarist! and a southpaw!

It's Better to Have it



Had to throw this in, because until today, Ettas version of this song was my favorite. I have a new favorite.

I'd Rather Go Blind

odd but catchy
