Richie Havens, den die meisten wahrscheinlich mit Freedom und Woodstock verbinden, macht heute noch unglaublich gute Musik. Wie bei vielen (naja, vielleicht doch eher einigen) dieser Generation ist die alte Stimme noch besser als die junge. Havens hat 2008 das fantastische Album "Nobody left to crown" veröffentlicht.

Einige Einblicke noch via Arthur's Musical Journey:



Tupelo Honey & Just like a Woman
Live at the BBC 1974




Freedom





Hands of Time with the Groove Armada


Indian Rope Man
a/k/a African Herbsman
Words by Havens, Roth, Price

Fog dangling thick
Can't see the right road
Streets are sick,
The eight day mill
It might grind slow, but it grinds fine

Indian rope man, while lookin' on
Tells common clay he's heavenly born
Retired layman looks on in scorn,
With a transplanted heart
Kiss him quick, he has to part.
Yeah...yeah

Indian rope man sees the times,
Splitting loose the edge of minds
Catching losers in his line, in his line, yeah
Kiss him quick, he has to part.
Yeah...yeah

Indian rope man flexes his eye,
Dissolving the fog
Revealing the lie
Indian rope man holds my trick in his heart, yeah
Kiss him quick, he has to part
Yeah... yeah

Indian rope man sees all strife
Cutting down eternal life
When his soul transcends his heart, oh
Kiss him quick, he has to part.
Yeah... yeah

Remember Jools, die das auch gesungen hat ...
