So sad that it was released after he died
This song is gorgeous and my favorite to listen to alone and visualize the beach.
2 years ago I literally left my home in Georgia headed for the Frisco Bay. It's always been one of my favorite songs (Redding and I are from the same town) and now it carries even more meaning for me.
I used to live in Seattle. One of my favorite thing to do was every Friday if go down to anthonys rich bar, right on the water. Ear amazong fish and chips or a fish taco and listen to this song. And watch the cargo ships go I to and out of the bay.
Such a perfect song, perfect recording. Timeless.
The bass line is the hook of this song yet not many people know it was Donald 'Duck' Dunn. A stax session musician who played on some of most important records in history. One of my musical heros who sadly passed away a few years ago.
Lost my grandpa in January, held his hand and laid my head back on the foot of his hospice bed, listening to this song with him as he took his last breath. Iβve always loved this song, and it was one of his favorites. It makes me cry every time I hear it but Iβll be damned if I donβt love it a million times more now.
The guitar riffs in this song are so damn spot on; just timelessly brilliant. Thank god there are people alive who make music at this level for us to love and share.
If you want to feel like a bum just remember that Redding was 26 when he died and he did so so much.
