Nature Can Do No More Blues (after a poem by Emily Dickinson)

Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Here I take inspiration from a late, short poem by Emily Dickinson and redo it as a bottleneck-slide guitar Blues. My sense of her original gnomic poem was that Dickinson was writing of Autumn's end of the growing season with the knowledge that this close of a yearly cycle is a phase that will be followed by another Summer.

The Parlando Project presents various words (usually literary poetry) combined with original music in differing styles. We've done over 750 of these combinations. You can read more about our experience with the poems and hear all the musical pieces at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
