Your Woman vs My Woman

White Town - Your Woman 3 comments Al Bowlly - My Woman 3 comments

I was going to do a writeup about Kids Incorporated today, but I got distracted by this awesome song called "Your Woman" by White Town. I couldn't shake that AWESOME hook he has in the song.

I knew it was an older-sound, I was guessing like Amadeus, but as it turns out, it was a 1930s song by Al Bowlly called "My Woman" (very clever, Mr White Town!)

Apparently White Town, aka Jyoti Mishra, was considered a one-hit wonder with only "Your Woman" making it in the charts. Looking at his official website, he's still producing music and I did listen to a few samples on his website - they are not bad! Unfortunately, don't click on muliple widgets because there's no way of stopping the music once it plays :/

As for Al Bowlly, he was a very popular singer in the UK in the 1930s, with over 1,000 recordings! He was definitely an influenced on another band featured here called The Real Tuesday Weld^[W♥M], which I heard through the grapevines that he'll be appearing in the US soon.

[esto es genial] White Town created 'Your Woman' on his computer in his Bedroom.

I have to share his motives behind the song because they are kinda sweet:

Being a member of an orthodox Trotskyist / Marxist movement (as I was for three years in the 80s).

Being a straight guy in love with a lesbian (ditto).

Being a Being a gay guy in love with a straight man (not tried this one yet).

Being a Being a straight girl in love with a lying, two-timing, fake-ass Marxist.

Being a The hypocrisy that results when love and lust get mixed up with highbrow ideals

He offers his first ever released record as a FREE download on his website.
