El gran Steve Wynn estuvo en Port Antonio (Jamaica) junto a amigos y miembros de The Baseball Project en el 2013. Se metieron por curiosidad en un estudio de grabación por 40 dólares la hora donde el propietario grabaría una pista cantando al más puro estilo libre. En un par de horas grabaron dos canciones tanto Scott McCaughey como Steve Wynn, quien contó en los coros con Linda Pitmon.
Durante todos estos años ha querido publicar esta especie de homenaje a los dos miembros de The Clash, donde también habla de su colección de vinilos, de singles… y donde además también cita a Steve Marriott, Phil Lynott, Velvet Underground, Modern Lovers, Alex Chilton, Stooges, Big Star, Mark E.Smith, The Fall, Orange Juice, Josef K, Edwyn Collins…
Ahora ha visto la luz y lo podemos escuchar y disfrutar aquí, en el Exile SH Magazine.
Letra
I’ve got something I want to tell you (tell me!)
I’ve got something I wanna I wanna tell you (tell me!)
Back in 1978 I was digging through every wooden crate
Old vinyl, old ‘78’s, 45’s, 33’s
To find what could reach me
I got something
I wanna tell you
Are you with me now?
I’ve got something
That I want to tell you
Everything I’ve known, everything I’ve known
Came down from my old record collection
Strummer and Jones, well, Strummer and Jones
Paul Simenon and Strummer and Jones
Daddy Rolling Stone by Steve Marriott
hil Lynott. Strummer and Jones
Anyway, I wanna tell you
When I was a kid, I had everything I didn’t keep hid
Everything I needed needed needed like this
I went from the first Velvets to the first Modern Lovers
To the second Stooges, Big Star and Alex Chilton now
I learned everything that
I needed from an old record bin
Complete Control, white label, Philly Soul
I learned everything I had to learn
That I was young, I admit
There were moments had my doubts
W
here I was going to
I learned everything I had to learn from
An old ’78.
(what??)
I had everything I learned (3X) from….
Well, into the vinyl soul
And Strummer and Jones
Manchester now!
Mark E Smith and The Fall
Taught me everything,
That was all
Slates, Slags and States
And the 45 and the 78 now
45 and the 78 now
Up to Glasgow
Take it—Glasgow soul now!
Orange Juice, Josef K and Edwyn Collins
Taking me through
I learned everything I had to learn
