Fra gummicellen – Porter Wagoner

8. juli 2007

I sidste måned omtalte jeg Porter Wagoner i forbindelse med udgivelsen af pladen “Wagonmaster”. I mellemtiden er jeg blevet opmærksom på en genudgivelse af interesse, nemlig albummet Rubber Room: The Haunting Poetic Songs of Porter Wagoner 1966-1977, der – som titlen antyder – består af det bedste fra mandens sangskriverhånd i den nævnte periode. En mere omfattende omtale af udgivelsen kan man læse her.

En tekstsmagsprøve – sangen The Rubber Room:

In a buildin’ tall with a stone wall around there’s a rubber room
When a man sees things and hears sounds that’s not there
He’s headed for the rubber room
Illusions in a twisted mind to save from self-destruction hmm it’s the rubber room
Where a man can run into the wall till his strenght makes him fall and lie still
And wait for help in the rubber room
From his blurry vision of doom a psycho in the rubber room
The man in the room right next to mine screams a woman’s name hits the wall in vain He’s in the rubber room
I hear footsteps poundin’ on the floor God I hope they don’t stop at my door
Hmm I’m in the rubber room
Now they’ve come to get me but they find
I’m a screamin’ pretty words tryin’ to make ’em rhyme
I’m n the rubber room hmm a psycho I’m in the rubber room hmm

Og her en corny video, hvor Porter synger sammen med en næste uigenkendelig Dolly Parton:
