Скачать или смотреть Maurice John Vaughn - Computer Took My Job

This great track from 1988 remains relevant today as the soulless AI generated music, text and images are starting to fill the internet, exploiting and threatening the careers of the real and authentic artists 😔
Album: Generic Blues Album | Purchase Album: https://www.alligator.com/albums/Gene... | Lyrics:
Computer took my job away from me
Computer took my job away from me

I was at work that mornin'
When the big trucks came
With the big machines inside
My boss had us all gather 'round
He said "the computers gonna make,
they gonna make your work easier
Don't you worry 'bout a thing"
But don't you know, don't you know
When the work is too easy
Lord they don't need you no more

Computer took my job away from me

Then the layoffs came
Puttin' good people out of work
For some people it's the only work they know
Twenty long years I worked
I tried to live right
And they take it all away
Give the work back to the people
We don't need a handout

Computer took my job away from me
Computer took my job away from me
Play organ now... [organ solo by Leo Davis]
Oh yea

Seems like your best just ain't good enough
Give me my job
Give me back my job
Don't you let, don't you let the computer take it all away
Oh can't you see
Can't you see I need
Can't you see I need, need my job

Computer took my job away from me
(What you say, sonny?)
Computer took my job away from me
Computer took my job away
I need it baby
Give the work back to the people
We don't need a handout
Don't take my job away
Hmmmm...

"...an engaging and personal mix of blues styles from gut-bucket to Hendrix ...[Vaughn's] guitar playing is nasty, tasty and very fluid...an unpretentious joy to the soul."
-- Living Blues

"...great playing, great singing, bits of humorous storytelling and that deep, deep feeling."
-- Guitar World

Maurice John Vaughn is a true blues original. A triple threat on guitar, saxophone and vocals, Vaughn writes powerful, innovative and often humorous songs that spring directly from his vast musical experience. His soulful and passionate vocals are convincing because they are earned -- Vaughn means what he sings. Coming out of the streets of Chicago, Vaughn was raised on Muddy Waters and Howlin' Wolf, black Top 40 and James Brown. Like the greats who have come before him, he has incorporated his various influences into a blues and R&B style that is completely his own.
