Day 107: April 17: One Man Parade
"Do believe I'm gonna clap my hands, think I might tap my feet."
The One Man Dog album seems to often get lost in the shuffle of James' catalog and wrongly so. It's really underrated with tons of great songs. This is the great opening track, however this live version predates the release of the album. The studio version is a little peppier but this slow groove is interesting too.
This one man band idea paints pictures of Dick Van Dyke in Mary Poppins, or perhaps KT Tunstall, or maybe even little Stevie Forbert in his later years. He sings, plays harmonica, guitar, and percussion with his feet.
