That is an AWESOME interpretation of "A Change is Gonna Come". I don't think I've ever heard RS sing in that high register before, either. Now I suddenly wonder what he could do with some other soul chestnuts. And THAT would be a great replacement if he still thinks he has to drop "State of the Union"!! ...Carol On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 6:30 AM, Janet Cinelli wrote: > Found this on youtube.

He does return to a higher register off and on throughout the song. I think that's part of what makes it different and a bit haunting. I also looked closely at his face at the song's start and he doesn't grimace - -- so I *think* he meant to be in that key. :-) On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 11:07 AM, wrote: > >> I don't think I've ever heard RS sing in that high register before, > either. << > > I actually thought he started it in the wrong key. ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 26 Nov 2008 08:38:20 -0800 (PST) From: Janet Cinelli Subject: Re: [RS] youtube video For what it's worth, he did say he was nursing a cold.

Gorgeous! I haven't heard him sing in that high a register, either. I can't believe he's been hiding that away for this long. I'm doubly thrilled that this got taped and posted since I wasn't able to make it out for any NYC/NJ shows this time around. Nice to get the highlights! - --Vanessa On Wed, Nov 26, 2008 at 11:49 AM, Amy wrote: > RG, he opened with this at the Ann Arbor show a few weeks ago and I had the > *same* initial reaction: I thought, "oh crap," etc. Turned about to be > lovely, though. > ~Amy > > > On Nov 26, 2008, at 11:16 AM, Carol Love wrote: > > .......Maybe.

Just wanted to add my voice to the list. Dropping SotU from the new cd would be a shame and in my opinion a stupid mistake. Maybe harsh words but it is by far the best of the new songs I've heard him play (in the uk last year) Ronnie > From: bronxbrody@yahoo.com> He did mention that he won't be putting the song, State of the Union, on the new album and that the album will be late now because he has to find/write another song. _________________________________________________________________ Express yourself instantly with MSN Messenger!
