about

This song from J.J. Cale's 1971 album "Naturally" is the first cover song I've ever released. And while it's been recorded by many great artists including Lucinda Williams and John Mayer, most have stayed close to the original arrangement. This version goes a little further afield and brings a sweet soulful summer feel to the song. Like all of my recent work, this recording was produced by the incredible Stewart Lerman.

lyrics

Magnolia

Whippoorwill's singing
Soft summer breeze
Makes me think of my baby
I left down in New Orleans
I left down in New Orleans

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had

You whisper "Good morning"
So gently in my ear
I'm coming home to you, babe
I'll soon be there
I'll soon be there

Magnolia, you sweet thing
You're driving me mad
Got to get back to you, babe
You're the best I ever had
You're the best I ever had
