This version of “Simple Man“ was recorded live to 1“ analog tape at Creampuff Studios in Nashville, TN. I think we did two takes, and chose the best one of the two lol.. Although posted in 2016, this video lit up during the pandemic- Up 550,000 views in April 2020 alone. I’m beyond grateful for the attention and support. “Simple Man“ wasn’t always part of my repertoire- After recording in Muscle Shoals, AL in 2016 (just before this cover was made); being there left me feeling far more connected to the music made there.. the music I’d always loved. I know my version of this iconic song stems from that experience.

I do not own the rights to this song
Mama told me when I was young
“Come sit beside me, my only son
And listen closely to what I say
And if you do this it’ll help you some sunny day“
“Oh, take your time, don’t live too fast
Troubles will come and they will pass
You’ll find a woman and you’ll find love
And don’t forget, son, there is someone up above“
“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can“
“Forget your lust for the rich man’s gold
All that you need is in your soul
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied“
“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can“
Oh yes, I will
“Boy, don’t you worry, you’ll find yourself
Follow your heart and nothing else
And you can do this, oh baby, if you try
All that I want for you, my son, is to be satisfied“
“And be a simple kind of man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby be a simple kind of man
Oh, won’t you do this for me, son, if you can“
Baby, be a simple, be a simple man
Oh, be something you love and understand
Baby, be a simple kind of man
