Salut à toi l'ami-e...
Otis
Taylor fait partie de ces artistes qui sont passés par le Festival
Azimut, à La Pesse. En 30 éditions, ils ont été quelques-uns...
Lui fait partie de ceux qui ont laissé un souvenir marquant de leur passage (mais je ne saurais pas te dire en quelle année... mouhahahaha)....
Né
en 1948 à Chicago, ce chanteur de blues est un musicien
multi-instrumentiste dont les talents incluent la guitare, le banjo, la
mandoline, l'harmonica...
Il a arrêté la musique pendant 18 ans, de 1977 à 1995, exerçant de petits métiers, dont celui de brocanteur.
Comme tout bluesman, ses textes évoquent les dures réalités de la vie,
en particulier celles de la communauté noire : le racisme et la pauvreté font partie de ses thèmes de prédilection...
Ten Million Slaves est issu de l'album Respect the Dead (2002).
La version ci-jointe a été remixée, pour la B.O. du film de Michael Mann, "Public enemies" avec Johnny Depp et Marion Cotillard (2009).
Ten million Slaves - Otis Taylor
Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again
Rain and fire crossed that ocean
Another mad man done struck again
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Paint my walls, twice a week
Sitting down here fallout shelter
Think about the slaves, long time ago
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their Legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their Legs
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing by yourself
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
ou'll be standing by yourself
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Ten million slaves crossed that Ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Ten million slaves crossed that ocean
They had shackles on their legs
Food goes bad, food looks Rancid
But they ate it anyway
Don't know where, where they're going
Don't know where, where they've been
Don't know where, where they're going
on't know where, where they've been
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing all alone
Sun goes out, you'll be standing
You'll be standing all alone
All alone, all alone, all alone, all alone, all alone
La bise.
