Musicbrainz DBThe sky is cryin....Can't you see the tears roll down the street
The sky is cryin....Can't you see the tears roll down the street
I've been looking for my baby
And I wonder where can she be
I saw my baby early one morning....She was walking on down the street
I saw my baby early this morning....She was walking on down the street
You know it hurt me, hurt me so bad
Made my poor heart skip a beat
I've got a real real real real bad feelin
That my baby she don't love me no more
I've got a real real bad feelin that my baby don't love me no more
Well , this guy, this guy's been cryin
Can you see the tears roll down my nose

A humbling experience. SRV did not read music, so whoever transcribed that sheet music had one hell of a time. Stevie just felt the music. It flowed out of him somehow. Transcendent. |

I thought the same some years ago but after attending a blues festival and seeing a few artist express their feelings through this kind of music it became something totally new for me. The art is in making somebody believe the story you're trying to tell and not every blues artist is capable of that. So for me blues music is something really unique in the world of music, but like i said, i understand if somebody feels the exact opposite. So that's another 2 cents... Probably worth 3 or 4 cents at least. I can dig Stevie, Shostakovich, Thelonious and Thile... good is good. But, music is also enjoyed like a flavor and we all don't have the same palate. And it's OK. But man, Stevie is really delectable ! |

| stratzippy (Tejas - here) | Posted: May 15, 2009 - 12:35 had the fortune & blessing to see SRV in Dallas; LA and Austin. The coolest had to be on auditorium shores in Austin with the Austin skyline behind him and the lights reflecting off the Colorado river/aka Town Lake. At the Bronco Bowl in Dallas was pretty cool too as Eric Johnson opened the show.  |

| GChevy410 (Seattle, WA) | Posted: Nov 26, 2007 - 11:03 Bill, I am really glad to be hearing more SRV recently. Great soulful guitar work, and IMHO will always deserve some air time. Died far too early, and lead a pretty rough life (mainly his own doing). Anyway thanks, and keep up the good work. |
