about

The first concert I attended was a show my dad played with Randy Newman. One of the first songs I learned on the piano was Sail Away. I love so much of his music and while this is by no means my favorite of his, it’s been a request at soirées. I sort of treated it as if Little Richard sat in with The Flaming Groovies and played it like I was 15, with reckless abandon.

lyrics

Have you seen my baby
On the avenue?
You know she's driving me crazy
With the funny things she do

I seen her with the milkman
Ridin' down the street
When you're through with my baby, milkman
Send her home to me

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on

Seen her with the gipsies
Dancin' in the wood
She's always been unfaithful to me
She ain't never been no good

I say, “Don't talk to strangers, baby"
But she always do
She say, "I'll talk to strangers if I want to
I'm a stranger, too"

Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on
You know it's been so long
Since she have been gone
Hold on, hold on, hold on
Hold on, hold on, hold on, whoo

about

A.J. Croce Nashville, Tennessee

A.J. Croce has established his reputation as a piano player and serious vocal stylist who pulls from a host of musical traditions and anti-heroes — part New Orleans, part juke joint, part soul. His new album was born of memories of favorite artists and shows, but mostly, of late-night gatherings with groups of friends, many of them fellow musicians, with Croce at the piano taking requests. ... more
