RATHBONE HOTEL
The Back-To-The-Roots Album [Liner Notes]
The songbook of a journey to the southwest of the U.S.A., recorded in the CBS Studios in London, produced functionally and efficiently, without gimmicks, by the former Genesis and Camel producer David Hitchcock. A compendium of basic rock music in the classic Improved style, at times drenched in mellotron, at times tequila flavoured, and enhanced with the singular colours of slide and pedal steel guitar.

Tularosa
It was a warm night in Tularosa
When I first saw her in some coffeeshop
She worked as a waitress didn´t like the job
I feel this ain´t the place for you
Get outta here, my Lady Blue
And I will sing my song for you
Your Mama told you not to talk to strangers
Never let´em take you down the road
Now you´re grown there is no need to tell you
I feel this ain´t the place for you
Get outta here my Lady Blue
And I will sing my song for you
Oh, come on let´s hit the road
It won´t take long ´fore we´re getting old
Let´s blow this town, keep moving on
It won´t take long ´fore we´re getting old
It was a warm night in Tularosa ... |
