terry callier - when my lady danced for me (live)

i heard the original on a talkin loud sampler and there it was a welcomed piece with all of the uptempo funk and swinging music. it's a beautiful song in terry calliers usual stripped down folky type soul that is utterly timeless and it grabs you instantly.

the original is short but sweet and on a first look i thought it didn be longer but the live version proved me wrong. callier & his live band plays the song almost as it is and then goes into some experimentation and inject these jazzy crescendos to build it up and take it down. it's this that take is to the next level and they make a great song even better.

original: buy here (7digital)
live version: buy here (7digital)
