Vincent Gabriel (aka Blind Albert) has written a brand new blues song entitled "Ode To Willie King." Gabriel said that he was inspired to compose the song after reading the RiverVue blog about the death of Alabama blues musician Willie King. King died on March 8, 2009. (photo of Willie King)
Yesterday I received this note from Blind Albert: "read the story about willie king---you posted on rivervue---as it turns out i was in the middle of writing songs for my new cd----blues oriented---when i read it---i was actually having trouble with one of my songs----didn't like the melody line i had for my vocals and didn't like the subject i had picked for the song ----so i took a break---decided to check out rivervue this morning and saw the article about willie------bingo---i immediately knew what i was gonna write about-- so the song i was having trouble with became a song in honor of willie king-----this song will be part of my new cd." You can hear Blind Albert perform "Ode To Willie King" on Blind Albert's MySpace page.
Blind Albert was featured on Swampland last week, along with flimmaker Deryle Perryman and photographer David Lyman, in a piece called "Less Than Six Degrees of Separation". Blind Albert composed the music for the video by Perryman et al "A Camera and A Curious Mind." Watch the video on the Swampland article "Less Than Six Degrees...."
Words to "Ode to Willie King" by Vincent Gabriel (aka Blind Albert)
willie king died on sunday
just 65 years old
way to young to leave this earth
way to young to go
he was a real alabama bluesman
from the deepest depths of his soul
a legend to those who know the blues
willie why'd you have to go
he started out on a plantation
playin a homemade diddly bo
some bailin wire nailed to a tree in his yard
makin music fast and slow
he was influenced by po andrew harris
howlin wolf and john lee hooker too
the brothers brook and jesse daniels
and birmingham george connor too
now there's an empty space where you used to play
but a heavanly sound comin down from the skies above
willie first heard the music
when he was just a little boy
at a juke joint owned by his grandma
more sixty years ago
born to play the blues he loved
consumed he played the blues
willie king was a great blues man
willie paid his dues
now there's an empty space where you used to play
but a heavenly sound comin down from the skies above
now i'm an old guitar player who plays a bit of blues
i started back in the sixties and i believe i've paid my dues
but i'll never be a bluesman
like the late great willie king
i've never walked in willies shoes
and never seen what willies seen
he left an empty space where he used to play
but there's a heavenly sound comin down from the skies above
yes there's an empty space where he used to play
but there's a heavenly sound comin down from the skies above
