Hej, var på festival igår kväll: Rootsy, i Värdshuset Hvitans trädgård, Falkenberg. Långt att köra, kom hem klockan två i natt, osv. Men det var värt besväret, utan tvekan. Två stora nya favoriter fick jag, nej tre förresten: 1) Katie Pruitt, 2) Jesper Lindell Band och 3) Pine Ridge Brewery’s New England IPA.
Tills vidare bara lite om Katie Pruitt; fantastisk röst, fantastiska låtar, så jävla bra…
Katie Pruitt är född och uppväxt i en katolsk familj i Georgia, USA. Då är det inte lite syndigt att råka vara lesbisk… Här en låt om detta:
Loving Her
If loving her’s a sin I don’t wanna go to heaven
No, there’s nothing else up there I could need
And if I’m sinnin’ every day guess, I’ll sin all seven
If I can still have her by the end of the week
Ooh, oohAnd if loving her’s a drug, then I wanna be addicted
Why would I get clean when the high’s this good
She says I’m the only one who can hit it
And all the other druggies just wish they could
They wish they couldYou see, I used to be ashamed to write a song that said her name
‘Cause I was too afraid of what they all might say
But if loving her is wrong and it’s not right to write this song
Then I’m still not gonna stop and you can turn the damn thing offIf loving her’s a choice, she’s all I’m gonna choose
No way you could sway me in another’s favor
Some people choose Buddha or Jesus or booze
But her body’s my temple and her soul is my savior
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, oohYou see, I used to be ashamed to write a song that said her name
‘Cause I was too afraid of what they all might say
But if loving her is wrong and it’s not right to write this song
Then I’m still not gonna stop and you can turn the damn thing offOoh
OohIf loving her hurts I’ll keep on hurtin’
If it means staying true to who I am
You may not agree, but like me, you’re learning
That people don’t like what they don’t understand
No, people don’t like what they don’t understand
And you can shake your head, you can clench your fist
You can judge, hold a grudge, you can just be pissed
You can say it’s wrong, you can say a prayer
But while you’re doing that I’ll be over there
Loving her
Oh, loving her
Loving her
Loving her
Ooh
Loving her
Loving her
Loving her
