My older brother brought Jonathan into our house when I was a kid. The album had Sunshine on it, but I got past the one great song and became a believer in Jonathan's whole style. Don't Cry Blue still rocks in my head. Shanty….another great song. I followed thru with about 4 more of his albums, but I could never understand why he was treated like a one hit wonder. Main stream music misses so many good artists. Jonathan's one of them. Saw him in Fredericton, new Brunswick, in the seventies. It was a dream come true for me. He still sounds great!
I replayed this song so many times, my album probably has deeper grooves in it! And somewhere out there is a wrangler that I wished and dreamed that I would see again. But that was almost 50 years ago now…. This song still gets me thinking about him though.
Mr. Edwards, Mr. Snow, thank you for allowing me to fly into the universe for a moment to capture a small midnight breeze from my youth.
Bless you both, please continue to share your talents with us.
Kind regards, Sergio
Could listen to him for hours, days, my whole life ❤…..just about
Still beautiful! Gets me all misty.
