Luyện nghe bài hát Blame It On New Orleans (narration)

Listening to these tracks up a lot of memories about
the source of the of these early songs
Most of them come the fact that when I returned to Mobile
after years of living and playing in New Orleans
I had started writing
New Orleans will do to you

Though my first recordings done in Mobile
the that I carried into the
studio had their in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was a year behind
being a Jesuit boy
I was still a and I wanted
not to be either of things anymore

So to borrow from a recent title by Mack McNally,
it on New Orleans
fair, I do

New Orleans to all of us who grew up on the Coast
is a where, if you had any eccentricities
And you thinking the way other people in the South were
in those
New was the place to be
It had made its mark on me long before I picked up a guitar
in my freshman year in
I had family roots that ran deep from to Gulf Port
to New to Mobile

So when I there and returned to Mobile to continue playing
for a living,
I was with old childhood memories and a fresh
French Quartered venture that I had turned into lyrics and
wound up being the material that interested Milton and Travis
and I got back to Mobile
And I these early recordings clearly show my evolution as a
performer and a song

You start someone, like I did Gordan Lightfoot
and then you open up to inspiring singers and songwriters
Who's was the sound of the 60's
Dylan, Tim Harden, Bobby from Abbeyville,
Toussaint from New Orleans,
Judy Collins, Joan and Fred Neil down in Miami
They were now the roadsigns on my song

All those adventures I had in New Orleans as a 20-year-old
became my musical
Yeah, blame it on New I say
I'm not New Orleans wants to take the blame
Many of the ingredients in big pot of musical gumbo
I was cooking up would be served up

In 2011 I was the unique honour
of being the Jazz Fest boy
in a painting that depicted my days
on the of Royal and Charter streets
When I saw the painting for the time
I thought it pretty much summed up things
1967 through 2011 and still to this day
New has had the most effect on me
as a songwriter, performer and as any place
I ever or travelled to during my time on this planet

Oh with maybe the exception of that week I
in Timbuktu and in Mali in Bamako with the Bucktooth
exploring the musical of West Africa
And someone says, about Key West?
That's a whole 'nother
We'll get to one later
But right now, here's another that was simmering in my pot
for a longtime and finally is getting up on Buried Treasure
This is Rickety Lane
