Music reviews of Remember the Wind and the Rain
Music Review: Five Stars Just for "Titanic"
Rating: 5 Stars
"Legend of the USS Titanic" is a hoot. A thirteen-minute hoot. I used to hear it on the Georgia Tech station, WREK, back in the early 1970s. (It wasn't till 1985 that my girlfriend mentioned that she had brought the LP they played it from to the station from Chicago.) Sadly, they were no longer playing it, when last i was listening to WREK - i asked someone at the station about it and he said they'd had complaints from a Jewish organisation about the lines about "...a bunch of Jewish people from Miami - they're jumpin' up and down and tradin' wives and Cadillacs..."
Well, i suppose that if you want to be offended by something, that could be a fairly offensive line.
Aside from that, the song (a talking blues, really) is absolutely hilarious. It's actually a comedic expansion of a Leadbelly song, which you can find on YouTube, and tells the story of what *really* happened to the RMS Titanic. Sort of. (I have to say i find it more plausible than the recent "explanation" offered by a descendant of one of the Titanic's officers...) It's quite long, and reveals how the presence of a pot-smoking First Mate ("...he's rollin' himself a smoke, he's diggin' the icebergs...") triggered a series of events. It also talks somewhat about Jack Johnson, the black fighter, who, popular {apocryphal} legend asserts, was denied passage on the Titanic's voyage.
Incidentally, Brockett, as a member of the Titanic Historical Association was the owner of a large collection of Titanic memorabilia, and keen to stress that the tale he spun in "The Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic" had no basis in actual historical fact.
The songs on this album are pretty much a classic product of the 1960s, with drug references and Nixon/Agnew-baiting ("Talkin' Green Beret New Super Yellow Hydraulic Banana Teeny Bopper Blues"), and some very pretty acoustic guitar. (And mountain dulcimer on "St. Botolph Street Grey Morning Dulcimer Thing".)
Worth the money just for "Titanic".
Description of Remember the Wind and the Rain
Boston folkie Jaime Brockett became an underground radio sensation with his epic ballad ?Legend of the U.S.S. Titanic?, which updated the old Leadbelly song about how black prizefighter Jack Johnson had been denied passage on the Titanic because of his race to offer an, er, alternative explanation as to why the ocean liner sank (the captain and first mate were high from smoking hemp rope)! Definitely a countercultural classic.Country CDs
