Otis Spann - Blues For Hippies

In my opinion!
There's a Blues, A Holy Blues, Black Blues and White Blues

- Blues is when you express your melancholy in music and words and it's perfect in every way if it's done right!

- The Holy Blues is when you reach some kind of Nirvana when you listen to it, mostly (if it's not always) comes from black people.

- Black Blues it's all what I said up there, in two words it's the Original thing.

- White Blues let's agree it's a fucking bullshit but sometimes it's okay and rarely perfect.

What we have here is so much different, it's A holy Blues coming from white  people and I don't even know what to call it. 
it's the rarely perfect that gives your goosebumps a goosebumps!

Thanks to Duane Allman and William Scaggs

Long live the blues

Lyrics
Somebody loan me a dime
I need to call my old time used to be
Somebody loan me a dime mmm
I need to call my old time that used to be
Little girl's been gone so long
You know it's worrying me
Hey it's worrying worrying me
I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
Oh no I didn't
Somebody loan me a dime
You know I need. I need a helping hand

Oh... she's a good girl
But at that time I just didn't understand
Ooooh I know she's a good girl
But at that time I just could not understand
Oh no
Somebody better loan me that dime
To ease my worried worried mind. oh
Now I cry. I just cry
Just like a baby all night long. oooh
You know I cry I just cry
Just like a baby all night long. oooh
Somebody better loan me that dime
I need my baby
I need my baby here at home. oooh YES

Billy Bragg releases his first new studio album in five years Tooth & Nail on Cooking Vinyl records on March 18 2013. Available formats are CD, LP and a limited special edition CD+DVD Bookpack.

The limited special edition Bookpack includes the CD, a 36 page booklet containing exclusive photos and a collection of columns written by Billy originally published in Q magazine between 2008 and
2011, plus a DVD of 10 promotional videos that Billy made for his singles between 1986 - 2002.

Drawing on personal rather than political themes, Tooth & Nail  was recorded over a whirlwind five-day session with Grammy Award winning producer Joe Henry (whose impeccable production credits include Solomon Burke, Aimee Mann, Elvis Costello and Hugh Laurie) in his South Pasadena basement studio.  With Joe taking Billy out of his comfort zone (all vocals were recorded live without retakes or overdubs) the album features an accomplished crew of musicians, including Greg Leisz (Bon Iver), Patrick Warren (Lana Del Rey), Jay Bellerose (Regina Spektor) and David Piltch (Ramblin’ Jack Eliot). The spontaneous results are, according to Billy, a return to the rootsy sound of 1998’s Mermaid Avenue sessions he recorded with Wilco - drawing on soul, country and folk music influences to explore the ups and downs of relationships that have stood the test of time.  
In his own words: “In 2011, I took a long, hard look at who I am and what I do. This album is the result.”
Permanently active beyond music and consistently playing to audiences around the world, this period also saw Billy establish the Jail Guitar Doors initiative and lend support to numerous causes including the anti-fascist campaign Hope Not Hate and the Occupy Movement. In 2010, he began to curate the Left Field at Glastonbury Festival, with the aim of highlighting new political artists. He recently delivered the 2012 John Peel Lecture.
