Review

December, 28th 2016

It is hard to wait for something from Louis Armstrong but perfection. Of course, there will be in the lyrics such things as Mississippi river, New Orleans city, land of dreams & all of it is intertwined with Basin blues, with is the sound of streets. You may take a trip there to know the spirit of the city. Unfortunately, there is no spirit of Mr. Armstrong’s time remained in the place, which dramatically changed since then. Louis Armstrong died at the age of 69 in 1971 and this death reminds us that nothing lasts forever; even great people die (the same as George Michael did in 53 on Dec. 25, 2016, RIP). Reference: Read more about "Basin Street Blues", the song written by Spencer Williams in 1928 and recorded that year by Louis Armstrong

Basin Street Blues Song Lyrics

Now won't you come along with me

To the Mississippi?

We'll take a trip to the land of dreams

Blowing down the river, down to New Orleans

The band is there to meet us

Old friends to greet us

That's where the line and the dark folks meet

A heaven on earth, they call it Basin Street

I said, Basin Street, Basin Street

Where the elite always meet

Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams

You'll never know how nice it seems

Or just how much it really means

Just to be, yes, siree, in New Orleans

The land of dreams where I can lose

My Basin Street blues

Now, you're glad you came with me

Down the Mississippi

We took a trip in a land of dreams

And floated down the river down to New Orleans

Where to, Basin Street, Basin Street

Where the elite always meet

Down in New Orleans, the land of dreams

You'll never know how, how much it seems

Or just how much it really means

Just to be, yes, siree, yeah, New Orleans

The land of dreams where I can lose

My Basin Street blues
