Hubert Sumlin 26 Novembre teatro Manzoni (Mi)

Nato a Greenwood, Mississippi nel 1931, Hubert Sumlin è uno dei chitarristi blues piu' rispettati. Amico d'infanzia di James Cotton, ha collaborato per circa due decenni con il mitico Howlin' Wolf, fino alla sua morte nel 1976 (basti ricordare il peso della chitarra di Sumlin in capolavori come "Spoonful", "Wang Dang Doodle", "Back Door Man", "The Red Rooster" e "I Ain't Superstitious"). Presente in innumerevoli dischi, è uno dei fondatori della chitarra blues contemporanea e come tale l'ispirazione di un numero impressionante di chitarristi, come Eric Clapton e Keith Richards, per il suo stile essenziale e discreto, caratterizzato da una riconoscibile timbrica metallica e da una robusta ritmica

Nick Cave...is back! Dig, Lazarus, Dig!

Dig, Lazarus, Dig! is the upcoming fourteenth studio album by international alternative rock band Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds. The album was recorded in June and July of 2007 at State of the Ark Studios in Richmond and mixed by Nick Launay at British Grove in Chiswick, and is scheduled for a March 3, 2008 release.
It will be the second Bad Seeds studio album without Blixa Bargeld and the first to be released since the Bad Seeds side project Grinderman released their eponymous album. In several interviews Cave has stated that this album will 'sound like Grinderman', implying a garage rock sound. Whether this will be in addition to or as well as the choral and orchestral arrangements which the recent Bad Seeds albums are renowned for is unknown. The album will be accompanied by a "gigantic" tour which will not include the United States.Dig, Lazarus, Dig! features artwork by British artists Tim Noble and Sue Webster.

DAY IS DONE
When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done. When the day is done Hope so much your race will be all run Then you find you jumped the gun Have to go back where you began When the day is done. When the night is cold Some get by but some get old Just to show life's not made of gold When the night is cold. When the bird has flown Got no-one to call your own Got no place to call your home When the bird has flown. When the game's been fought You speed the ball across the court Lost much sooner than you wouldhave thought Now the game's been fought. When the party's through Seems so very sad for you Didn't do the things you meant to do Now there's no time to start anew Now the party's through. When the day is done Down to earth then sinks the sun Along with everything that was lost and won When the day is done.
