LORDY LORDY LORDY LORD!!!
I never noticed Carla on the floor !!
“shes the one mistake in that town” ;D love it! Coming from Italy, it feels so great to be able to experience old american music culture, feels like a time machine. Such great job and feel, especially when the beat picks up! Admire the recording process…the key & sound of roaring bleeding hearth. Applausi a tutti!!
This whole series was a delight.
I adore this fun, ol’timey song, so perfectly played! The AE Sessions triple album and the PBS DVD of AE and the AE Sessions a must-have, my friends! In the spirit of a Ken Burns documentary. And it’s amazing how clear every sound is captured on this rebuilt pulley driven recording machine. To see Jack White, T Bone, and all the Sessions artists interact, and perform for this huge labor of love endears them to me all the more.
Lovely!
Yawn
this was such a great addition to the sessions and such a wonderful surprise…. i reflect on those solo tour days and the smiles that came to my face when i realized that Lillie Mae was coming into her own solo career potentials as musician and singer… the sweetness of this song symbolizes all the best of the search for the past in this American Epic Series… well done my friends!!! ive been inspired as of late to revisit some of those other sorts of cultural inspirations in my own spare time… check out this recent find… its something of a marriage promenade in flamenco… https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=1KOZUkf0NO4 …. talk about some Matrimonial Inclinations… whew!!! such amazing legacies everywhere we look if only we take the time to appreciate the depth of these artists in context…. please enjoy my finnd along with me!!
Got my Sessions today! Absolutely loving the whole series of lp’s!
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! Happy to see Carla Azar on drum, on the floor, no less. Love this song & all that is American Epic. Thanks to all who worked so hard, for so long, to bring this gem to us.
