My Ol' Man (ft. Carter Arrington)

from The Colours Of Joni by Redtenbacher's Funkestra

/

about

Austin/Texas guitar man Carter Arrington takes on ‘My old Man’ from the 1971 album ‘Blue’. Originally about Joni’s relationship with Graham Nash - our version is taking on a brighter and joyful feel, perhaps creating a celebratory ode to freedom, following restrictive relationships.

“This was a fairly happy take on My Old Man, which felt appropriate due to the nature of the lyrics. The joy and dreaminess of domestic life she was reflecting on with Graham Nash is celebratory and uplifting for most of the song, while the bridge conveys the grief and loss experienced when that dream fades. I still wake up with that bridge in my head all the time; it has such a haunting and memorable quality to it. I am very grateful for the opportunity to explore this tune with such gifted musicians.” (Carter Arrington)
