Jay and The Cooks

DRIED UP DREAMS on video

JAY AND THE COOKS don’t beat around the bush: the sexagenarians express themselves loud and strong without digression, the subjects are simple and direct with tracks like “Poor Everybody” or “Dried up Hearts”. All the songs are inspired by real life stories or very close to reality.

All songs are in video realized by the canadian Mirkö Lafrenière or the french Lucas Ranoux.

All is available on the Youtube chanel Juste Une Trace.

THE VIDEO JESSE JAMES

A STOP-MOTION video for « JESSE JAMES » (Barry Melton, Robert Hunter) from the album LIVE AT LA DAME DE CANTON.

It was 1969 at the Woodstock Festival, the voice of Barry “The Fish” Melton filled the air over an excited crowd. At the same time Jay Ryan was in the streets of Chicago in the marching band.

It is no coincidence that LIVE AT LA DAME DE CANTON starts off with “Jesse James”, one of the songs co-written by Barry “The Fish” Melton and Bob Hunter. Robert Hunter, lyricist and member of the Grateful Dead, had passed away 3 days before the recording. It’s with these memories and some nostalgia that Barry got on stage accompanied by Jay and The Cooks. He pays homage to his friend and you can hear it in his voice.

Ligne 13, a «cartoon-song»

Line 13 of the Parisian subway system (“metro”) crosses the capital from North to South, from top to bottom and back up, from suburb to suburb through Paris.

Hauling more than 125 million passengers a year, it’s one of the most fully loaded lines in Europe, in short, saturated. Therein lies its dreadful reputation.

Thanks to Jay and The Cooks, now it’s got its own song! (album I’M HUNGRY)

LIGNE 13 (Jay Ryan, Marie-France Floury, Éditions AMOC)

Kamel a franchi les montagnes
Kamel a traversé la mer
Mais il a vraiment connu la pire des galères
Sur la ligne 13, même si c’était pas la grève
Sur la ligne 13, il a eu comme un malaise !
Marie Louise a soixante-quinze ans
Elle n’a plus que 3 ou 4 dents
Si elle veut descendre à Invalides,
Il faut qu’elle se speede !
Car sur la ligne13, son dentier, elle l’enlève
Sur la ligne 13, fais gaffe à ta prothèse !
Michelle de Saint Germain en Laye
Arrive sur Paname par le RER C
Mais elle ne rigole pas du tout même si elle s’arrête à Gaité
Et sur la ligne 13, elle pourrait écrire une thèse
Sur la ligne 13, une thèse vraiment balèze !
Boubakar a dégoté un job
Mais le wagon était blindé, il n’a pas pu y monter
Alors pour pas être en retard, il a démissionné !
Il fait la manche sur le quai
De la ligne 13, c’est la crise et elle te baise
Sur la ligne 13, ou tu pousses ou tu crèves !
Marie-France va voir son pote à Saint-Denis
Elle connaît le Carrefour Pleyel
Mais dans le couloir du métro pas de piano
C’est une vraie poubelle !
Sur la ligne 13, entre les canettes de 16
Sur la ligne 13, que des bémols pas de dièses
La ligne 13, tu vas l’avoir mauvaise
La ligne 13, fais toi une ligne, ça apaise !
La ligne 13, y a comme un truc qui pèse
La ligne 13 dis adieu à tes rêves
