Μια από τις πιο απέριττα συγκινητικές ερμηνείες του τραγουδιού που έχω ακούσει. Από το πρόσφατο άλμπουμ – αφιέρωμα του μεγάλου Willie Nelson στον Gershwin.

✻

This is one of the most touching, unadorned renditions of the song I’ve ever heard. From the album – tribute to Gershwin recently released by the great Willie Nelson.

❝ It’s summertime and the living is easy
The fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy’s rich and your mama’s good looking
Won’t you hush, pretty baby, don’t you cry
One of these mornings you’re going to wake up singing
Then you’re going to spread your wings and take to the sky
But till that morning ain’t nothing, nothing going to harm you
With your mommy and daddy there standing by
It’s summertime and the living is easy
The fish are jumping and the cotton is high
Your daddy’s rich and your mama’s good looking
Would you hush, pretty baby, don’t you cry ❞

Enjoy!
