Take Me To The Garden - Gregory Porter

(1/3) > >>

Scotty:
Age: thought you might like this one. I just heard it for the first time (I've become a bit obsessed with Gregory's voice)

I thought this was especially beautiful - and played along where I could on my A chromatic.

PS: It just dawned on me (after watching this again - and again and again, lol) that the title is NOT 'Take me to the Garden', but 'Take me to the Alley'. I've no idea how I mixed it up, but mea culpa.

Age:
That's the first time I heard that guy sing. Wow! Great voice. Strangely reminiscent of Johnny Hartman.

Gnarly He Man:
Here is a link to an interesting article about his San Diego roots.

His voice is so soothing!  The religious part of his background comes through huge in this song.  The "King" who they are preparing the streets for with "shiny things" is obviously Jesus.  And ... sure ... that King wasn't interested in being the center of attention and being among those who had no need.  He wanted to be taken to the alley, where he could minister to and be among the afflicted. 
Sneaky, ain't it? ;)

Brorat: those who know can read into it and between the lines but you are NOT allowed to bring religion - or politics onto the main site. Prayermeister is for that. We have people from all Countries and of all faiths here and it's one of Age's cardinal rules, despite his own religious background. The rules are for everyone.
