Texte au verso de l'album
"I myself was a former member of the Glen Mills School for delinquent boys, so my reasons for especially wanting to do this concert were twofold. Firstly, I wanted to show these boys that they still have a chance to make a useful life for themselves and to become successful and accepted members of the community.
Secondly, I very much wanted, on a personal level, to do something for these boys, and to in some small way show my appreciation for the teaching and direction that I received during my own stay at Glen Mills. It is not everyday that someone is given the opportunity to turn a false start into a winning race. I was given such a chance, and I would like to feel that in some indirect way, concerts such as this one, and similar activities, will lead to a ‘chance’ for others. For me, this concert has been a truly wonderful experience, and I hope you will all feel the same way about « SOUND EXPERIENCE ».
Thanking you truly,"
Stan Nelson (producer)
"Everything Is Beautiful" ou les prémices du son Sound Experience : comme dirait Danouche, un son cru et sauvage.
Les paroles sont inutiles, juste dire : vous aimez ce qui claque, cogne, pulse, balance tout en ayant du Funk sous les pieds, alors le bonheur n’est pas loin.
Le chant n’est pas en reste et sur cet album, un medley avec la superbe reprise du fameux "Feelin’ Alright" qui déménage sur des cuivres, une gratte électrisante dans les premières secondes…
Je vous laisse vous préparer pour taper des mains, des pieds, secouer la tête si le cœur vous en dit, “40 Acres And A Mule” et c'est parti.
Ok je me tais.
FACE A
Nada, rien de trouvé sur le net, c’est dommage car le premier morceau envoie du bois. Mais la B arrache sa race avec… écouter ci-dessous.
