Shake your Money Maker

No hi ha rés millor en un dia amb una pila de roba per planxar que amenitzar-lo amb algun disc especial. Avui, en front d'una muntanya considerable de samarretes m'he decidit pels Black Crowes i el seu Shake your Money Maker, el primer (i el millor sota el meu punt de vista) àlbum d'una de les millors bandes de rock des dels anys 90. El disc és una joia tot ell, començant pel títol (homenatjant una cançó d'Elmore James), la portada, el llibret i tota la imatge del grup. De seguida es veu que el disc és impressionant, perquè les cançons comencen a caure com bombes: Twice as Hard, Jealous Again, Sister Luck (una meravella de mig temps), Could I've Been so Blind, Seeing Things, Hard to Handle, Thick and Thin, She Talks to Angels (una altra cançó que no et pot deixar indiferent, amb una lletra que parla de les addiccions i una música espectacular), Struttin Blues, i Stare it Cold

Bé, en definitiva una bona descàrrega de rock en majúscules (que ha fet que la planxa em passes volant). Totes les cançons tenen el seu link per escoltar-les (el disc també, i està sencer). Assota us deixo She Talks to Angels i la lletra:

The Black Crowes – She Talks to Angels

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, shell tell you shes an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night, now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes,
The pains gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels,
They call her out by her name
She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met, not yet

Says she talks to angels,
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name

She dont know no lover,
None that I ever seen
Yes, to her that aint nothing
But to me, yeah me,
Its everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, theres a smile when the pain comes,
The pains gonna make everything alright, alright yeah

She talks to angels,
Says they call her out by her name
Oh yeah, yeah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, angels
They call her out by her name
Oh, she talks to angels
They call her out
Yeah, they call her out
Dont you know that they call her out by her name
