As I was heading down Hartford Road this morning toward the site I was going to in Medford, I was checking out the wooded wetlands along the way. After two days of rain they looked a lot like the Louisiana Bayou and I knew I had the right CD playing, Night Train to Nashville by Tab Benoit. This is a favorite (aren’t they all?) and captures Benoit at his best. The album has a great mix of music (I’ll write more about the album tomorrow when I get my notes!) I do know that three songs that really stood out again today aside from the title track were “Too Sweet for Me” with outstanding harp work from the Fabulous Thunderbird’s Kim Wilson (who I left out of Sunday’s shopping mix because it was on the way home!), “Fever for the Bayou” and “Muddy Bottom Blues”
Here’s a youtube video of “Night Train”
Another album I listened to today was Buddy Guy’s Skin Deep. I am not a big Buddy Guy fan and I really don’t know why not! I guess there’s too much good music and not enough time! Anyway every time I listen to this album I like it a little more, like the Benoit album I”ll try to write more tomorrow when I review my notes.
So it’s off to some yoga now!
