Tony Joe White - Good In Blues

 

 

There's a cold wind blowing
Downtown tonight
Oh, I'm all done
Walking around, I don't feel right

I'm so used to feeling warm
Having you hanging on my arm
I can't believe you just cut me loose
You're gonna look good in blues

They still got a cool band
In the little club where we used to go
But I don't feel the dance
Tonight I'm just too low

Oh, I gave it all I had
You say 'Baby, well that's too bad'
But you'll have to pay the dues
And you're gonna look good in blues

Back in the real world
No dreams no plans
Keeping a low profile
Just getting by the best I can

But you can't kick a heart around
And leave it in pieces on the ground
Baby, it's gonna catch up with you
And you'll look good in blues
You're gonna look good in blues

더이상 흑인들만의 전유물이 아니라는 듯
60년대 초반 나타난 Blue Eyed soul(또는 화이트 소울)은
백인 뮤지션에 의해 불려진 Soul과 R&B를 말한다.
엄청난 환호를 지속적으로 받아왔던 음악인으로
지금까지도 많은 영향력을 남기고 있는 Tony Joe White 도
그 중 빼놓을 수 없는 아티스트로 Rainy day lover 은
남부작곡가 중에 따라올 자가 흔치 않다는
Tony Joe White의 숨은 멋이 있는 곡이다.
