from Oannes *

Μια από τις άφθονες ηχογραφήσεις του τραγουδιού του Willie Nelson είναι αυτή από το Two Men With The Blues, το ιδιαίτερο άλμπουμ που κυκλοφόρησε στα late ’00s με τον Wynton Marsalis. Ζωντανά ηχογραφημένο στο Jazz At Lincoln Center, έδρα του κορυφαίου τρομπετίστα-συνθέτη.

✻

One of the numerous recordings of Willie Nelson’s song is this one from Two Men With The Blues, the special album he released in the late ’00s with Wynton Marsalis. Recorded live at Jazz At Lincoln Center, home of the leading trumpeter-composer.

❝ When the evening sun goes down
You will find me hanging round
The night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
Many people just like me
Dreaming of old used-to-be’s
And the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
Listen to the blues they’re playing
Listen to what the blues are saying
Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
And the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life
Listen to the blues they’re playing
Listen to what the blues are saying
Mine is just another scene
From the world of broken dreams
And the night life ain’t no good life
But it’s my life ❞
