Sir Shambling

A strong man's tears fall dry - UPTITE 253

Rudi Stewart

I'm a sucker for bluesy deep ballads and the New Jersey cut Listen"A Strong Man's Tears Fall Dry" comes right into that category. Introduced by a nice guitar lick and accompanied by some fine organ playing and an assertive female chorus, Stewart wails out his misfortune in a gruff baritone. No frills or sweetening just a man crying out the blues. The top side has attracted some attention from funk fans - but I don't rate it.
