![]() Slow Turning (1988) [ larger cover art ] |
Down here the river, meets the sea
And in the sticky heat I feel ya' open up to me
Love comes out of nowhere baby, just like a hurricane
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
Lying here, underneath the stars right next to you
And I'm wondering who you are and
How do you do?
How do you do, baby?
The clouds roll in across the moon
And the wind howls out your name
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
We never going to make that bridge tonight baby
Across Lake Ponchartrain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain
So batten down the hatch baby
And leave your heart up your sleeve
It looks like we're in for stormy weather,
That ain't no cause for us to leave
Just lay here, in my arms
Let it wash away the pain
And it feels like rain
And it feels like rain

Although Bonnie Raitt's slide solo on Buddy's version makes a compelling argument in its favour. Off to ponder this some more... He did... Its a tough call. I really like both versions..... |

| Chi_Editrix (Chi) | Posted: Dec 19, 2012 - 08:59 Hiatt is a better sailor than Buddy Guy. He knows enough to "batten" down his hatch, whereas Buddy wants to "button" his down. |
| DaveInVA (In a hovel in effluent Damnville, VA) | Posted: Nov 25, 2012 - 11:45 Sounds like this song borrows ta lot from the Temptations "I wish it would rain". |
| Cyclehawk (Athens GA) | Posted: Sep 23, 2012 - 14:41 Pretty good song, but there are several on the album that I like better. I'd give the album overall and 8 or 9... one of Hiatt's best. |
| melodium | Posted: Aug 23, 2012 - 02:46 My favorite song :) thanks ! |
