ALBUM: TODAY

LABEL: VANGUARD RECORDS

GENRE: BLUES

YEAR: 1963

Today! is the second studio album, but third body of work recorded by folk/country blues musician Mississippi John Hurt. It was released in 1966 by Vanguard Records. This album contains some of the first commercial material recorded after his "rediscovery" in 1963, and is the first he recorded for Vanguard. The album spans several genres and styles of music, ranging from traditional blues and folk songs, to country, to African-American spirituals. Along with Hurt's two previous releases, Today! helped to reveal his work to a wider folk audience. In 2009, the album was one of the twenty-five selections that were added to the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.

Yeah, I did all I can do, and I can't get along with you

I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day

Pay day, pay Day

Well, the rabbit in a log, I ain't got no rabbit dog

And I hate to see that rabbit get away

Get away

Baby, did all I can do, and I can't get along with you

I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day

Just about a week ago,

I'm gonna keep my skillet greasy if I can

If I can, if I can

(spoken: You know what happened to me)

Well, the hounds is on my track, and the knapsack on my back

I'm gonna make it to my shanty 'fore day

'Fore day, 'for day

Baby, I did all I could do, an' I

I'm gonna take you to your mama, pay day

Well, and I ain't got no rabbit dog

Lord, I hate to see that rabbit get away

Get away

Baby, did all I can do, and I can't get along with you

I'm goin'

I LOOKED AWAY

She took my hand

And tried to make me understand

That she would always be there,

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.

It came as no surprise to me

That she'd leave me in misery.

It seemed like only yesterday

She made a vow that she'd never walk away.

First Verse

And if it seemed a sin

To love another man's woman, baby,

I guess I'll keep on sinning

Loving her, Lord, till my very last day.

But I looked away

And she ran away from me today;

I'm such a lonely man.

COUNTRY: U.K.

ÁLBUM: U.S.A. UNION

LABEL: POLYDOR RECORDS

GENRE: BLUES

YEAR: 1970

John Mayall OBE (Macclesfield, 29 de novembro de 1933) é um cantor, compositor e multi-instrumentalista inglês que toca blues.

Com uma carreira musical que atravessa mais de cinquenta anos, foi o fundador da banda John Mayall & the Bluesbreakers e influenciou muitos instrumentistas, como Eric Clapton, Jack Bruce, Peter Green, John McVie, Mick Fleetwood, Mick Taylor e Larry Taylor, entre outros.

USA Union is a 1970 album by blues musician John Mayall, featuring Harvey Mandel on guitar, Larry Taylor on bass and Don "Sugarcane" Harris on violin. The album was recorded on July 27 & 28th, 1970 at Larrabee Studios in LA and released by Polydor later in the same year.

At the end of the sixties John Mayall was residing in Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles, California and had developed connections with local musicians, befriending Harvey Mandel and Larry Taylor, who had both just departed Canned Heat. Taylor had appeared on one track of Mayall's previous album, Empty Rooms, the only studio recordings of his "Turning Point" band, and stayed on to replace Stephen Thompson (with whom he duetted on "To a Princess"); Mandel essentially replaced acoustic guitar specialist Jon Mark, and electric violinist Harris replaced saxophonist Johnny Almond. In the USA Union liner notes, Mayall noted that, after the Turning Point band broke up, he'd played a British music festival with an all-star lineup and then needed to form a new band swiftly when Polydor Records pressed him for a new album.

Man's a filthy creature

Raping the land and water and the air

Tomorrow may be too late

Now's the time that you must be aware

Nature's disappearing

Polluted death is coming, do you care

Garbage going nowhere

Soon the dumps will spread to your front door

Lakes and rivers stagnant

Nothing lives or grows like years before

Nature's disappearing

The world you take for granted soon no more

Read about pollution

Make manufacturers uncomfortable

Boycott at the market

Containers that are non-returnable

Aluminum, glass and plastic

Eternal waste that's not destructible

We're a generation

That may live out our natural time

But as for all our children

Born to suffocate in human slime

Nature's disappearing

And we are guilty of this massive crime
