Álbum The Rill Thing de Little Richard - Canciones
The Rill Thing
Reseña
El álbum de 1970, The Rill Thing ("Lo Auténtico"), es una obra de reafirmación en la que Little Richard se sumerge en el sonido del funk y el soul sureño. En este trabajo, el artista, acompañado por una banda de músicos de Muscle Shoals, entrega uno de sus discos más crudos, orgánicos y llenos de groove.
Por esta razón, el sonido del disco es puro funk-rock. La producción es directa y se centra en la increíble sección rítmica, creando una base hipnótica sobre la que la voz y el piano de Richard se deslizan con una energía arrolladora. De hecho, el álbum es considerado por muchos como una de sus obras maestras de su segunda etapa.
Además, el álbum contiene el exitoso single "Freedom Blues", un poderoso himno de conciencia social. Asimismo, la canción que da título al disco es una jam de funk de más de diez minutos que demuestra la increíble compenetración de la banda. Ciertamente, es el sonido de un artista que dialoga con el funk, un género que él mismo ayudó a crear.
En resumen, "The Rill Thing" es un fantástico álbum de funk-rock. Es un trabajo que no solo demuestra la increíble relevancia de Little Richard en los años 70, sino que también es una escucha obligada para cualquier amante de la música de raíces americanas en su estado más puro y auténtico.

[X]letra de Freedom Blues
I hope that I should live to see,
When every man can know he's free.
Sufferin' from the past.
I make I ought to be sad
I got my duty rock and roll,
Now everybody, everybody, everyone's gotta be free!
Oh...
Now la-la, la-da-da-da.
La-la, la-da da-da.
Mmmm, let's get rid of that old man, hey-ey-ey,
And bring our government up to date.
It may be very hard to do,
Just open your mind, let love come through.
You hear me callin' you my?
Everybody, everybody, everyone's gotta be free!
Oh yes!
La-la, la-da-da-da.
La-la, la-da da-da.
We did our thing every thing and we paid our dues,
Now let's get rid of these freedom blues.
It may be very hard to do,
Just open your mind, let love come through.
I got my duty rock and roll,
Now everybody, everybody, everyone's gotta be free!
Oh...
La-la, la-da-da-da.
La-la, la-da da-da.
La-la, la-da-da-da.
La-la, la-da da-da. - Greenwood, MississippiVer letra 3:20
[X]letra de Greenwood, Mississippi
Well I've been on the road
for a long time
met a lot of women
had to leave them all behind
'cause I want to go back
to the land I love
where Magnolia smells sweet
and white cotton is warm
[Chorus:]
Take me on back
Back to the country
Take me on down, down
Greenwood Mississippi
Old farmer John
he lives down the road
works in the fields
carryin' a heavy load
He don't have to worry
'bout a thing
'cause everyday now
you can hear him sing

[X]letra de I Saw Her Standing There
Well, she was just 17,
You know what I mean,
And the way she looked was way beyond compare.
So how could I dance with another (ooh)
When I saw her standin' there.
Well she looked at me, and I, I could see
That before too long I'd fall in love with her.
She wouldn't dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standin' there.
Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Well, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now, I'll never dance with another (whooh)
When I saw her standing there
Well, my heart went "boom,"
When I crossed that room,
And I held her hand in mine...
Oh, we danced through the night,
And we held each other tight,
And before too long I fell in love with her.
Now I'll never dance with another (whooh)
Since I saw her standing there
Since I saw her standing there
Since I saw her standing thereComposición: Lennon-McCartney
