Walter Wolfman Washington - She's Everything To Me

Album: My Future Is My Past http://www.walterwolfmanwashington.com/
Lyrics:
She’s not the smartest girl, no she’s not
But she reads me like a book
No matter what the disguise I might wear
She sees through every look
She never backs off or hides from anything she could ever see

But she’s the only thing that’s everything
She’s the only thing that’s everything
The only thing that’s everything to me

I know that face may be just another face to you
But every line and wrinkle says what I’ve put her through
She tries to make me believe
That I could be anything I could be

She’s the only thing that’s everything to me
The only thing that’s everything to me
She’s the only thing that’s everything to me

You know what, I got to tell you this

We’ve been broke more times than I can count
She always hangs in there
She don’t complain
She makes everything bright and sunny
Even when it’s pouring down rain

She’s the only that’s everything to me
The only thing that’s everything to me
The only only only thing that’s everything to me
She’s the only thing, the only thing, that’s every everything to me
She’s the only thing that’s everything to me
She’s the only only thing
Only thing to me
Walter Wolfman Washington is a soulful musician of rare talent, as well as a deep thinker and hip philosopher, and his hometown is New Orleans. Walter has cut his teeth for the last 50 years playing everywhere from European festivals to bars that Google Maps will never find. New Orleans is notorious for its wildness, parades, and celebrations. New Orleans is Mardi Gras, but it's also the uptown class of Allen Toussaint and hip style and language of Dr. John. Walter has always embodied both, but finally we have a set of songs that re-erects the yin to Walter's bring-the-party yang. This is the record that we all have known he has in him. This is the night after that party, or maybe just the after party. He's been given free rein to express himself, and that's special.

Producer Ben Ellman has assembled a sympathetic group of musicians from keyboardists Jon Cleary and Ivan Neville to a versatile rhythm section of bassist James Singleton and drummer Stanton Moore. Soul Queen of New Orleans Irma Thomas lends her voice to a cut and matches Wolfman note for note. Those two go back a long way. Walter played guitar in Irma's band in the late 1960s. Can you picture how much fun that might have been? And this is their first recording together. His future is his past indeed.
