Sunday. Ain't No More Cane

Posted almost 3 years ago


......A song that dates back to the early parts of the last century. Many assert the song chronicals the devestating effects of a major drought in the American southwest. (Sugar)Cane fields withered & dried & blew away.....And men & women were literaly starving to death in the streets.

....I don't know.......I've heard many people cover this song.....This is in my top three.

    He does a great job with this. I never've actually heard him before, but read an article once that used him as an example of someone whose face is asymmetrical, in an article about scientific data linking the degree of one's facial symmetry with the age of losing one's virginity.

    Perhaps not as unusual as an Earth sized comet hitting gas giant Jupiter, Mr. Lovett's version is a bit more colorfully detailed and depressingly paced than Mr. McGuinn's cover...that I was listening to just yesterday. We be raising cane, Jeffy!!

    I always thought of Spike as one of the Moggers with the broadest musical tastes. Yet he's hearing Bonnie Raitt and Lyle Lovett for the first time? Guess I missed some blind spots...
