„I’ll play the blues for you“

If you’re down an’ out, an’ you feel real hurt
Come on over, to the place where I work
An’ all your loneliness, I’ll try to soothe
I’ll play the blues for you.

Don’t be afraid, come on in
You might run across, yeah, some of your old friends
All your loneliness, I’ve got to soothe
I’ll play the blues for you.

Come on in, sit right here, let’s rap awhile
Ya see I’m kinda lonely too, ya know?
An’ loneliness is a very bad thing
If ya let it get the best of ya
An’ loneliness can get ya down, ya know?

Yeah, yeah, are you comfortable now?
Yeah, yeah, that’s outta sight
Yeah, as I was sayin’ before
Loneliness can get you down, an’ I have heard of, ah
Loneliness blowin’ some good people’s mind, ya know?

But ya can’t do that
This is a big world, this is a big world
An’ there’s too many nice things happenin’ in this world
You’re a very pretty girl
Where you live?

No, no, no, disregard that, that’s okay, that’s okay
Most important thing, I wanna know you
I say, I wanna know you
That’s groovy, ain’t it?
I’ll play the blues for you.

I ain’t got no big name
Oh Lord, an’ I ain’t no big star
I’ll play the blues for you on my guitar.

All your loneliness, I’ll try to soothe
I’ll play the blues for you.

Excuse me

Jedan od najlepših bluzeva ikada snimljenih, imao je svoju premijeru na ploči objavljenoj 1972. godine.

„I’ll play the blues for you“ napisao je Jerry Beach 1969 godine. Geater Davis je snimio ovu pesmu iste godine, ali taj tonski zapis nije objavljen (smatra se tzv. demo snimkom). Tri godine kasnije je po prvi put zvanično objavljena na ploči. Albert King je snimio album „I’ll play the blues for you“ na kome se nalazi istoimena pesma kao prva na A strani. Zbog trajanja od preko sedam minuta, dodato je u nazivu“Part 1-2″ jer je iste godine objavljena i singl verzija. Možda nije popularna i poznata kao neki tzv. bluz standardi, ali je u izvođenju Albert King-a – predivna. Snimili su je i mnogi drugi muzičari zaljubljenici u bluz, među kojima su Gary Moore, Joe Bonamassa, Melvin Taylor, Vargas Blues Band, Bryan Lee, Corey Stevens, Daniel Castro…

Retko se dešava da se pojavi izdanje na ploči ili cd-u posvećeno samo jednoj pesmi.

Tu privilegiju doživela je pesma „Les feuilles mortes“ koju je komponovao Joseph Cosma.a Jacques Prevert je napisao tekst. Nastala je davne 1945. godine. Johnny Mercer je kasnije napisao reči pesme pod nazivom „Autumn leaves“ za englesko govorno područje. Danas se smatra tzv. džez standardom. Doživela je preko hiljadu obrada.

Kompilacija „Anthology of one song – Autumn leaves“ objavljena je 2009. godine. Na njoj se nalazi šesnaest sjajnih obrada ove pesme koje su snimili poznati izvođači u razmaku od preko četrdeset godina.

Znam da će mnogi reći da nema njihove omiljene verzije na pomenutom cd-u. Nema ni meni nekih dragih, ali kako odabrati samo šesnaest od preko hiljadu obrada? Koliko sam puta sam pravio razne kompilacije po svojoj želji i nahođenju. I opet posle toga primetim da nisam ubacio pesme koje volim, pa ih naknadno dodam kao bonus ili ih bude za još jedan cd 🙂 Kod ovakvih kompilacija nikada ne možemo biti potpuno zadovoljni. Pomenuću samo nekoliko muzičara koji su snimili „Autumn leaves“ posle 2009. godine, nakon što se pojavilo ovo izdanje. To su Eric Clapton, Seal, Nicki Parrott, Mark Lanegan, Jermaine Jackson, Kathryn Williams, Bob Dylan, Lisa Simone…

Predivna pesma koja je sigurno zaslužila da joj posvetimo pažnju i više minuta nego što je trajanje jednog diska. Aktuelna je ovih dana.

Kada se pre dva meseca pojavio singl „Strange days“ koji su snimili the Struts uz pomoć Robbie Williams-a, iskren da budem, bila mi je čudna ta kombinacija. Bio sam sumnjičav, znajući šta je grupa snimala pre toga. Međutim, kada sam čuo pesmu, shvatio sam da odlično zvuči i da me je ta saradnja demantovala. Još dva singla su se pojavila pre albuma i to su bili pravi the Struts. Čekao sam album. I onda je objavljeno kompletno novo izdanje pre dve nedelje.

Album „Strange days“ je zaista odličan. Luke Spiller sa svojim prepoznatljivim vokalom, postao je, posle samo tri albuma, zaštitni znak grupe the Struts. Svoje vokalne sposobnosti potvrdio je i na albumu „Man on the rocks“ koji je snimio Mike Oldfield (objavljen pre šest godina kada i debi album grupe), na kome se pojavljuje kao glavni vokal. Pored Williams-a, još nekoliko poznatih muzičara je učestvovalo u realizaciji „Strange days“. Na album je uvrštena i obrada pesme grupe Kiss „Do you love me“, koja je po meni, prevazišla original.

Kris Kristofferson je objavio tridesetak studijskih albuma i glumio je u preko sto filmova. Za sada…

Ovaj svestrani umetnik je snimio prvi singl 1967. godine, a svoj debi album tri godine kasnije. Svoj prvenac, jednostavno nazvan „Kristofferson“, objavio je 1970. godine.

Na ploči se nalaze verovatno njegove najbolje pesme koje je komponovao. Autor je muzike i teksta za deset pesama, dok se u dve pojavljuje kao koautor. Mnoge od njih su postale sastavni deo muzičke lektire i obrađivane su od strane velikog broja muzičara. Neke od pesama koje su našle mesto na ovom izdanju, nije on prvi snimio. Koliko sam samo puta, baveći se muzikom (ne kao muzičar već samo kao strastveni kolekcionar), tokom svih ovih proteklih godina začuđeno rekao „Pa i ovo je on napisao“.

Istovremeno sa objavljivanjem svog drugog albuma, „Kristofferson“ je doživeo svoje reizdanje samo godinu dana kasnije, 1971. godine. Nazvan je po najvećem hitu „Me and Bobby McGee“. Da se zna ko je autor svih pesama na ploči!

Verovatno nisam jedini koji se danas začudi zašto ima pojedine ploče u svojoj kolekciji. Al u to vreme kada sam ih kupovao, imao sam razlog da budu kod mene. Reizdanje „Me and Bobby McGee“ (licenca Suzy) nikada nije bilo spominjano u tom kontekstu. Naprotiv, uvek je bilo među omiljenim albumima koji se često preslušavaju..To je i razlog za ovaj članak na blogu.
