BLUEGRASS
Pour ceux qui ne connaissent pas cette forme musicale, voici un exemple de ce qui se fait de mieux. Un supergroupe composé principalement de Tony Rice (guitare et voix), Doyle Lawson (mandoline et voix), J.D. Crowe (banjo et voix), Jerry Douglas (dobro et voix).
Il ont publié ensemble 6 albums intitulés "The Bluegrass Album", "The Bluegrasss Album vol. 2", etc., d'où le nom qui leur est couramment donné: "The Bluegrass Album Band"

Le titre interprété s'intitule en fait "Age". Il est l'œuvre de Jim Croce, auteur-compositeur et chanteur, malheureusement un peu oublié, qui a trouvé la mort dans un accident d'avion en 1973. Jim Croce avait connu un petit succès chez nous avec "You don't mess around with Jim" puis "Bad, bad Leroy Brown" (repris en Français par Sylvie Vartan).
I've been up and down and around and 'round and back again
I've been so many places I can't remember where or when
And my only boss was the clock on the wall and my only friend
Never really was a friend at all
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
Once I had myself a million, now I've only got a dime
The diff'rence don't seem quite as bad today
With a nickel or a million, I was searching all the time
For something that I never lost or left behind
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
And now I'm in my second circle and I'm headin' for the top
I've learned a lot of things along the way
I'll be careful while I'm climbin' 'cause it hurts a lot to drop
When your down nobody gives a damn anyway
I've traded love for pennies, sold my soul for less
Lost my ideals in that long tunnel of time
I've turned inside out and around about and back and then
Found myself right back where I started again
