Tony Joe White - Tunica Motel descargar videos gratis
Tunica Motel is a fine example of swamp blues, the trademark of Tony Joe White. It's from "10 jaar het beste uit 2 meter sessies" (Varagram 1997). I've you want to buy this album: http://bit.ly/190Mjmz. 2 meter sessies, a dutch radioprogram by Jan Douwe Kroeske, asked musicans to perform an unplugged version of one of their songs.
Tony Joe White chose Tunica Motel, a song about a man who escapes the city, drives to Memphis to find his tranquillity in a motel which bears the same name as the song. At daytime he finds his comfort and rest but at nights he is haunted by regret and thoughts about the founding father of the blues Robert Johnson and his reason to sing. He reputedly sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads.
Will he ever sleep? Can he resist the alluring Crossroads? Will he walk the path of virtue or will he go astray and fall into evil ways? Tony Joe White puts us at the Crossroads with Tunica Motel and whilst playing his gritty, dirty and muggy blues, he's waiting for answers. So do I.

I was in Tunica yesterday... Still a sleepy little town as long as you don't go about 12 miles north! Had a friend that retired to Tunica so he could be close to the casinos. Eat the buffets and drink the free booze! He died last year... Not a bad place to die, quiet and slow. Better there than Memphis or Atlanta or some other rat race town.11 years ago

Robert Johnson was playing near Greenwood during the depression a harmless flirt he was enthralled with his friend a beauty who came to hear him play. Sonny Williamson who was with him said, friend your drinking to much. Naa ! So he continued to drink a large amount that night. Next day he fell ill and over the next three days he got worse finally going into convulsions. He stopped breathing & died. His symptoms were consistent with acute alcohol poisoning. The whiskey was moonshine. Anthony12 years ago
