musicology #512

Duets2 #2

(Am I A Good Man - Them Two)

LISTEN

Today's marrow trembler finds themusicologist standing in 'still waters' that run almost too deeeeeeeeeep and I'm probably shooting myself in the foot by peering into the darkest recesses of my soul in such a public way but authenticity compels me to continue asking the question....what/who am I? (not that I'm expecting or even asking for an answer as I don't believe there is a definitive but unfortunately that doesn't stop the internal dialogue).

Paradoxically? the question has reared it's head at the onset of this 'Harmony' theme but in the words of Blues man supreme Little Willie Littlefield 'Life is like that' and no amount of running and hiding will alter a truth.

The musicology presented by the TOP RANKING Numero Label was originally recorded for and released on Miami's Deep City label sometime in the late 60's? and features the combined harmonies of Clarence Reid and Willie Clarke ably backed and driven by Helene Smith, Arnold Albury and Reed Roberts. For me music doesn't get 'better' than this...what a tune.
