\"\"Postoje ljudi koji se svojim radom i talentom nikako ne uklapaju u “instant” prirodu novog milenijuma. Ponekad mi se \u010dini da je Sid Grifin u stvari\u00a0zbirno<\/em>\u00a0ime za desetak ljudi koji operi\u0161u na raznim stranama ve\u0107 decenijama….<\/p>\n

Sid je trenutno lider sastava\u00a0Western Electric<\/strong>\u00a0i\u00a0the Coal Porters<\/strong>, koji povremeno “vaskrsne” i svoju neverovatnu solo-karijeru, tira\u017ean pisac i kriti\u010dar, radio DJ u (privremenoj?) penziji i muzi\u010dki producent.U moj \u017eivot “u\u0161ao” je krajem osamdesetih preko “Tajanstvenog voza” \u017dikice Simi\u0107a, kao lider fascinantnih\u00a0the Long Ryders<\/strong>. Posle “male” pauze opet mi se vratio u “fokus” pro\u0161le godine kao pisac scenarija za veli\u010danstveni dokumentarac\u00a0“Gram Parsons: Fallen Angel”<\/em>\u00a0(premijerno emitovan na BBC-ju pro\u0161le godine). Sada se“nametnuo”<\/em>\u00a0kao autor verovatno najlep\u0161e plo\u010de u 2005. godini,\u00a0“As Certain As Sunrise”<\/em>\u00a0(Prima Records).<\/p>\n

Osam godina je pro\u0161lo od izlaska albuma\u00a0“Little Victories,”<\/em>\u00a0prve solo plo\u010de u tada ve\u0107 zna\u010dajnoj karijeri Sida Grifina.<\/p>\n

Sam Bog zna koliko puta sam pu\u0161tao pesmu “I Wish I Was A Mountain” u\u00a0“delikatnim”<\/em>\u00a0trenucima, ili u\u017eivao u saradnji Sida sa Stivom Vinom – nekada\u0161njim \u010dlanom\u00a0Rydersa<\/strong>\u00a0\u2013 u pesmi “The Rate of Exchange” i neobjavljenom dragulju Fila Oksa “Sailors And Soldiers” – duetu sa Bilijem Bregom. \u010cekanju na novu solo plo\u010du najzad je do\u0161ao kraj.\u00a0“As Certain As Sunrise”<\/em>\u00a0je kao vremeplov, koji u isto vreme omogu\u0107ava pogled u najlep\u0161e godine rokenrola, ali i u veoma intimne trenutke Grifinovog \u017eivota. Album je nastao u Sidovoj dnevnoj sobi u Londonu i Luizvilu u rodnom Kentakiju,\u00a0“domu”<\/em>\u00a0najve\u0107e\u00a0Amerikana<\/em>\u00a0atrakcije u ovom trenutku, magi\u010dnih\u00a0My Morning Jacket<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"I ovoga puta za ljubitelje rariteta Sid je “iskopao” neobjavljenu pesmu Daga Sama, lidera legendarnih\u00a0Sir Douglas Quintet<\/strong>\u00a0i\u00a0Texas Tornadoes<\/strong>, “Just Let Her Go,” (na kojoj gostuje Ian Meklagan na klavijaturama, biv\u0161i \u010dlan\u00a0Small Faces<\/strong>), a uz obradu\u00a0Flamin’ Groovies’<\/strong>\u00a0klasika “You Tore Me Down” to je jedina pesma koje Grifin nije napisao na albumu.<\/p>\n

Kakve su pesme na\u00a0“As Certain As Sunrise”<\/em>? Od klasi\u010dnih\u00a0Dillard & Clark<\/strong>\u00a0posveta (“The Last Kentucky Waltz”), preko balada mo\u0107nih isto koliko i “A 1000$ Wedding” i “A Song For You” Grema Parsonsa (“Alibi Bye” i “Where Bluebirds Fly”) preko psihodeli\u010dno-sentimentalnih\u00a0the Byrds<\/strong>\u00a0vinjeta (“You Tore Me Down”), do hiti\u010dnih c&w eufori\u010dnih “hitova” (“Just Let Her Go”).<\/p>\n

Uz “niljangovske” rekapitulacije \u017eivota (“Wearing Out My Welcome With The Blues” i “Tell Me You Still Sing”) ili D\u017ein Klark oma\u017ee (“Faithless Disciple”), preko folk-popa svojstvenog harizmati\u010dnom D\u017eou Pernisu (“I Come And Stand At Every Door”), do intimnih minijatura (“Lost In This World Without You”, “Evidence” i “Written Upon The Birth Of My Daughter”)…<\/p>\n

Ovo je plo\u010da za slu\u0161anje kod ku\u0107e, u omiljenoj fotelji, zatvorenih o\u010diju i sa osmehom na licu. Osam godina nikada nije bilo bolje utro\u0161eno nego ovoga puta. Sid Griffin \u2013 The Renaissance Man.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
