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

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

Though my recordings were done in Mobile
the songs I carried into the
had their origins in New Orleans
When I landed there in 1968 I was just a year
a Jesuit alter boy
I was still a and I wanted
not to be either of those anymore

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

New Orleans to all of us who up on the Gulf Coast
is a place where, if you had any
And you weren't thinking the way people in the South were
in days
New Orleans was the to be
It had made its mark on me long I even picked up a guitar
in my freshman year in
I had roots that ran deep from Pascagoula to Gulf Port
to New to Mobile

So when I left and returned to Mobile to continue playing
for a living,
I was armed with old childhood and a fresh
French Quartered venture that I had into lyrics and songs
that wound up being the that interested Milton and Travis
and when I got back to
And I think these recordings clearly show my evolution as a
and a song writer

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

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

In 2011 I was the unique honour
of being the Jazz poster boy
in a painting that depicted my days
on the corner of Royal and Charter
When I saw the for the first time
I thought it pretty summed up things because
From through 2011 and still to this day
New Orleans has had the effect on me
as a songwriter, performer and novelist as any
I ever lived or travelled to during my time on this

Oh with the exception of that week I spent
in Timbuktu and in Mali in with the Bucktooth Brothers
exploring the musical culture of West
And someone says, What Key West?
a whole 'nother story
We'll get to that one
But right now, here's story that was simmering in my pot
for a longtime and is getting served up on Buried Treasure
This is called Lane
