non vedo l'ora che arrivino CD+DVD (sembra che il booklet interno sia diverso con l'aggiunta anche dei testi).
questo é quello che ha scritto Bernie:
'The Natchez Trace is a long slow road winding through the heart of the Old South. Peachtree Road is its urban counterpart, a humming artery snaking through modern day Atlanta. Though the two differ in their polar opposite settings, both are kindred spirits in what they represent; both hold a key to musical tradition. One is the old, fabled and full of mystical power, the place where Muddy Waters soaked up the sounds of the mythical Charley Patton and Elvis worshipped the soaring tenor of Jake Hess. It's where Ray Charles turned country music into soul, and George Jones kept country music honest. The other is where those influences flourish, kept alive in clubs and churches, in the voices of choirs and artists cutting their teeth on the legacy of Little Richard, Al Green, and Booker T. This album was written and recorded with these inspirations fully in place. When we began, we were at odds with our direction, slightly unfocused, we were rescued by the obvious. Here, influence hung in the air like the moss on the trees and the humidity in the air. Between the music we grew up worshipping, and with its lasting legacy still in our hearts, it wasn't hard to see the light and follow the muse. We are indebted to all the musical giants aforementioned, for in our own way, all are represented here no matter how slight or how obvious. This is our South; this is our Reconstruction.'
posso dire dire di aver scoperto (casualmente!) il Natchez Trail ben prima di Elton, ci sono passato tanti anni fa.
non lo fatto tutto (600 km), ma un buon 2/3 si, e lungo tutto il tragitto ho incrociato solo una decina di auto, non era molto conosciuto.
