せいぜい20枚ほどしか持っていませんが、これまでレイ・チャールズの作品を買って一度も後悔をしたことないです。この作品も本当に素晴らしいです。30年前に買ったベスト盤CDで知って大好きだった"Busted"や"Lucky Old Sun"などをようやくオリジナル盤で聴けました。大満足の1枚でした。
"Busted"
My bills are all due and the baby needs shoes and I'm busted
Cotton is down to a quarter a pound, but I'm busted
I got a cow that went dry and a hen that won't lay
A big stack of bills that gets bigger each day
The county's gonna haul my belongings away cause I'm busted.
I went to my brother to ask for a loan cause I was busted
I hate to beg like a dog without his bone, but I'm busted
My brother said there ain't a thing I can do,
My wife and my kids are all down with the flu,
And I was just thinking about calling on you 'cause I'm busted.
Well, I am no thief, but a man can go wrong when he's busted
The food that we canned last summer is gone and I'm busted
The fields are all bare and the cotton won't grow,
Me and my family got to pack up and go,
But I'll make a living, just where I don't know cause I'm busted.
I'm broke, no bread, I mean like nothing, It's over

「失恋」をテーマにしたよくある歌詞の歌と思っていた"Busted"が、実は「破産」の歌と知って衝撃!
