The Clarendonians - Walking Up A One Way Street (1972)

Willie Tee's original version is one of my all time faves, but it's such a great song that the Clarendonians do the Earl King penned song justice.

Song Review: The Infamous Stringdusters feat. Anders Osborne - “Those Lonely, Lonely Nights”

The Infamous Stringdusters and Anders Osborne added some ’grass, but took away none of blue on their cover of “Those Lonely, Lonely Nights.”

It’s a slow-roller played on instruments made for fast-pickin’. But incongruities must be damned when these divergent artists cross-pollinate and combine dichotomous genres into something new.

With Osborne on vocals and the ’Dusters popping in with Dobro, fiddle, acoustic guitar and banjo solos, the track honors Earl King’s original, Osborne’s iconoclastic roots and the band’s string tradition.

Covering all the bases is one thing. Doing it without leaving home is another. And the way Osborne smacks the song out of the park with the mic stand is yet another.

Born in Arkabutla, Mississippi in 1931, he had a stutter since childhood. Jones said that poetry and acting helped him overcome the challenges of his disability. A pre-med major in college, he served in the United States Army during the Korean War before pursuing a career in acting. Jones made his film debut in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove (1964). He received a Golden Globe Award nomination for Claudine (1974). Jones gained international fame for his voice role as Darth Vader in the Star Wars franchise, beginning with the original 1977 film. Jones' other notable roles include in Conan the Barbarian (1982), Matewan (1987), Coming to America (1988), Field of Dreams (1989), The Hunt for Red October (1990), The Sandlot (1993), and The Lion King (1994). Jones reprised his roles in Star Wars media, The Lion King (2019), and Coming 2 America (2021).

I think doing voice for animation is... is probably acting in its most purest and ancient form. It's a bit like... the Greek form of acting, in the ancient Greek. where they had masks on. In our case, the mask is the animator's drawings, you know.

The Making of the Lion King.

Rest in peace, James Earl Jones.
