it is raining in my heart, niagara falls, how can it hurt this much to lose you, I am torn and cast adrift, just floating on this gorgeous blanket of beautiful sound, James Booker somehow knew that my pain would be total, and go right through me, and cast me into the wind like a leaf in a storm, and then a soft landing, he knows I am hurting and he made this soothing music to help me. thank you, James.
Of course the piano is superb...but the lyrics, simple, direct and cut right to the bone...James gives this song immortality...thank you for posting...
Love Booker so, so much. Wish I had been fortunate to have seen & heard him in my lifetime. This recording of True is the best out there; thank you for that.
elderly here but wouldn't trade my years for the fortune of seeing in person the likes of allen tousaint, proffesor longhair, etc in new orleans. however, the best of the best was james booker, loved him at tips and maple leaf.
This song just slays me. Does anybody have a link for the sheet music to this song? I've been trying for days and to think that this masterpiece hasn't been transcribed is practically criminal.
+andymc24 how bout 3:32 - 4:49... never really heard such a rhythmically perfect, harmonically complex, tactically flawless run in my life. Do I need to listen to more piano players or is this a peak in the history of piano play like it seems?
