hey louis, remember mickey newbury, le chanteur le plus émouvant depuis billie holiday?

you're my lady now/ mickey newbury.
la voix lyrique de roy orbison, l'imagination baroque de stephen sondheim, le charisme poétique de townes van zandt, les poussées de fièvre de bob dylan -il avait tout pour lui.
trop peut-être.

mickey newbury/ SHE EVEN WOKE ME UP TO SAY GOODBYE, l'histoire étrangement monocorde d'une rupture: la fille part dans la nuit, mais elle a la délicatesse de réveiller son amant ... pour lui dire au revoir (pour anna).

sortir de soi-même, c'est possible.
ne pas oublier l'ironie sublime des séances harry nilsson/gordon jenkins ....
l'intensité de ce chant là, angélique et parfait, est l'une des expériences les plus extrêmes et les plus abouties du chant classique américain.
sinatra en aurait été bluffé.
