Willie Dixon - You Can't Judge A Book By
You can't judge an apple by looking at a tree
You can't judge honey by looking at the bee
You can't judge a daughter by looking at the mother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, can't you see
Oh, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer
But I'm a lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, come on in closer baby
Hear what else I gotta say
You got your radio turned down too low
Turn it up
You can't judge sugar by looking at the cane
You can't judge a woman by looking at her man
You can't judge a sister by looking at her brother
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, can't you see
Oh, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer
But I'm a Lover
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
You can't judge a fish by lookin' in the pond
You can't judge right from looking at the wrong
You can't judge one by looking at the other
You can't judge a book by looking at the cover
Oh, can't you see
Oh, you misjudge me
I look like a farmer
But I'm a lover...

미국 브르스를 듣다보면 대부분 커버곡이 많습니다.
이곡 역시 Bo Diddley 가 불렀던 노래인데 윌리 딕슨(윌리암 제임스)가
재 취입합니다.윌리는 그래미 어워드 명예의전당에 헌정된 인물이죠.
많이 모르는 가수이긴 합니다만 노래 듣다보면 초창기 소울과 펑키의
중간 느낌을 받을수도 있습니다.나중엔 락엔롤로 바뀌지만.
보 디들리보다는 한참 선배가 후배 노래를 커버 하는건 그때나 지금이나
아무런 제재없이 불렀던 것 같습니다.지금도 미국 음악계는 창작 보다는
커버곡이 많죠.그건 세계적으로 곡을 쓰는 분들의 고통이기도 합니다.
브르스 와 재즈 쪽에 창작 곡이 드문건 재즈가 주는 곡의 이해를 구하기
때문인것 같습니다.설명이 길죠?,.그만 노래 듣죠,
