The Neville Brothers – “Yellow Moon”

4955-largeUn discazo, eso es este “Yellow Moon” de los Neville Brothers. Me pasó con este disco lo mismo que con el “Tiny Voices” de Joe Henry me atrapó su atmósfera misteriosa, dulce, envenenada. La producción de Daniel Lanois, junto con las voces de los hermanos Neville, especialmente ese falsete de Aaron Neville, hicieron la magia. Soul y Blues de New Orleans, del bueno, unas canciones brillantes, como los singles “Yellow Moon” y “Sister Rosa” (contando la historia de Rosa Parks) o las versiones de “A Change Is Gonna Come” (Sam Cooke) y “With God in Our side” (Bob Dylan) hacen de este “Yellow Moon” una maravilla díficil de olvidar, y desde luego yo no lo he hecho desde 1989. Disco a recuperar claramente.

Yellow moon, yellow moon
Why you keep peeping in my window?
Do you know something I don’t know?
Did you see my baby
Walking down the railroad tracks?
You can tell me if the girls
Ever coming back
Is she hid out with another
Or is she trying to get back home?
Is she wrapped up in some other’s arms?
Or is the girl somewhere all alone?
Can you see if she is missing me
Or is she having a real good time?
Has she forgotten all about
Or is the girl still mine all mine?

With your eye so big a shiney
You can see the whole damn land
Yellow moon can you tell me
If the girl’s with another man?

Oh yellow moon
Have you seen that creole woman
You can tell me
Now ain’t you a friend of mine

With your eye so big a shiney
You can see the whole damn land
Yellow moon can you tell me
If the girl’s with another man?

Oh yellow moon
Have you seen that creole woman
You can tell me
Now ain’t you a friend of mine
