About John Stewart

2009-10-17T18:22:00.000-07:00

Cover version by Pequinito.
After I posted this video tribute to the Monkees, I learned that the songwriter John Stewart died on Jan 19 2008, so I added this obituary in his honour. The AP press report follows:

LOS ANGELES — John Stewart recorded some of pop music's most acclaimed solo albums, helping create a style that came to be called Americana, but he was always best known for writing the Monkees' enduring hit "Daydream Believer."

Stewart, who came to prominence in the 1960s as a member of folk music's Kingston Trio, died Saturday at a San Diego hospital after suffering a brain aneurism. He was 68.

"He was a lovely man and a very gentle soul and I guess the only thing you can say today is that the world is less one great songwriter," the Monkees' Mickey Dolenz told The Associated Press on Sunday.

Stewart left the Kingston Trio shortly before the Monkees released "Daydream Believer" in 1967, then went on to record nearly four dozen solo albums, including the critically acclaimed "California Bloodlines" and "Bombs Away Dream Babies." The latter included the hit single "Gold," in which he dueted with Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks.

Still, as with "Daydream Believer," he was likely best known for writing songs for others, including Joan Baez, Nanci Griffith, Roseanne Cash and Anne Murray.

"He was a cult hero, he never made it super huge," said his manager, Dean Swett. "He was one of those outlaw rebels, one of the people who refused to conform to what the record labels expected him to be."

A husky-voiced singer and accomplished guitarist who delivered his lyrics in a poignant, often longing voice, his music was hard to classify. It fell somewhere between rock, country and folk and eventually came to be called Americana.

He wrote "Runaway Train," a country hit for Roseanne Cash, and "Strange Rivers," which Joan Baez included on her 1992 "Play Me Backwards" album. Nanci Griffith dueted with him on "Sweet Dreams" and Murray, like the Monkees before her, had a hit with "Daydream Believer."

"There are certain songs that you just go in humming. It was one of those," Dolenz said of "Daydream Believer," which also was Stewart's best-known recording. Although he sang background to Davy Jones' lead on the Monkees' version, Dolenz performs the song himself at his solo shows.

"To this day it is one of the biggest songs that I do in concert," he said.

Stewart joined the Kingston Trio in 1961, replacing Dave Guard in the group that had helped usher in an American folk music revival in the late 1950s.

"John truly was the right fit. A first rate entertainer and gifted songwriter," the group said in a statement on its Web site.

He recorded more than a dozen albums with the trio before going on to a solo career in 1967. A year later he released "California Bloodlines," which included the minor hit "July You're a Woman." "Bombs Away Dream Babies" came out in 1979.

He eventually recorded more than 40 solo albums. Others included "The Lonesome Picker Rides Again, "Airdream Believer" and "Rough Sketches," the latter a collection of songs about the iconic American highway "Route 66."

Stewart was said to be at work on still another album at the time of his death.

Stewart's wife, Buffy, and children were at his side when he died, according to a statement on the Kingston Trio's Web site.

LYRICS:
Oh, I could hide 'neath the wings, of a bluebird as she sings
The six o'clock alarm would never ring
But it rings and I rise, wipe the sleep out of my eyes
Me shaving razor's cold and it stings
Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer, and a home-coming queen
You once thought of me, as a white knight on a steed
Now you know how happy I can be
And our good times started then, without dollar one to spend
But how much baby, do we really need
Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer, and a home-coming queen
---instrumental---
Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer, and a home-coming queen
Cheer up sleepy Jean, oh what can it mean
To a daydream believer, and a home-coming queen...

Aos que passam por aqui, fiquem a vontade para comentar.
Eu reparei que os hits para este blog aumentaram bastante.
Para um blogueiro de primeira viagem mais de 100 visitas em 2 dias é muito!
Esse incremento ocorreu de 2 semanas para cá, o que me deixa curioso para saber quem me visitou recentemente, além dos de costume.
Será que foi por causa do post do Obama?....
Pessoal, cliquem lá embaixo e deixem seu recado.
Abraço a todos

Ela demorou 4 anos pra ficar pronta, como diz o próprio Luc. rsrsrs
Esse é o tempo que ele ficou me cobrando pra fazer a caricatura....

... e esse também é o tempo que vai demorar para desinflar meu ego de tantos elogios que recebi dele.

E depois dessa primeira caricatura eu fiz e postei muitas outras aqui.
Então, ele é o culpado por este blog! kkkkk
