JIMMIE TOKITA "Mississippi Delta Blues"

１９７０年代中ごろ銀座にあった（ある?）ライヴハウス ナッシュヴィル?でのライヴパフォーマンスがＡＭ放送された時のものです。
この頃のジミーさんは時々メロディに低い音を即興で加えたりされてますが（pals I know ARE trueなど）コレがまた、とても良い味を出していてまさにＧＯＯＳＥ　ＢＵＭＰＳものです。
また、コーラスのパートでWhen night shadows creep aboutというあたりの歌いまわしなど、涙が出そうなほど素晴らしいと思います。
お写真はＶＯＬ１同様、富田＠東京さんのブログから使わせていただいています。
また音質につきましては、当時のＡＭ放送からカセットへの録音をイコライジングしただけですので、ご了承ください。
LYRICS
Friends around and even pals I know are true
Still I 'm lonely home-sick and blue
There's no one who can cheer me when I'm alone
Longin' for my Mississippi home
(CHORUS)
Way down on the delta on the Mississippi shore
In that muddy water I long to be once more
When night shadows creep about and the whipperwill call
You can hear ol' mammy shout " Come in here you all"
Way down on the Levi strolling in the pale moon light
You can hear those steamboats and the fields of snowy white
There's the feelin' I can't lose , the muddy water 's in my shoes
When I get the Mississippi delta blues
Deliheeheelei hee
Mouth -Trombone interlude
I long to hear them talk and sing those ol' melodies
Swany River and Old Black Joe
That sweet magnolia perfume floatin' on the breeze
Way down south there's where I long to be
