No More Blue Nights, fourteen diverse and sophisticated songs. The title cut No More Blue Nights was originally written as a secular tune, its
eerie and lonely message was full of grief and despair. Fats wrote Blue Nights in San Francisco in 1984. He had been working all over the
western U.S. and had taken a break to visit longtime friend and former band member Chris Porter. They were on their way to the American Theatre
to see the Neville Brothers and he was struck by the sadness of the people wandering the city streets.
Blue Nights was his most requested song in concert. When he gave his music to the Lord he rewrote the song and though it maintains its
sensitivity to lost and lonely people it offers a message of hope that was lacking in the original version. |
