Ralph Covert: The Accidental Soundtrack

When The Captain's Gone

10/22/2014

While working with a Dutch band in Amsterdam in the '90's, I wandered into a sailor's bar in the harbor district. I spoke enough Dutch at the time that they brought me into their world for the evening, sharing stories and buying drinks. I'm sure elements of that evening filtered into the song Man Underwater as well. This song blends Chicago blues grit and grime with the grease and garishness of wandering the docks and beaches of Holland. Corky Siegel's masterful harp playing adds smokey depth to Steve and Mike's lurching swagger.

How did the author's experience in a sailor's bar in Amsterdam during the '90s influence the creation of the song "Man Underwater," and what elements from that evening are reflected in the song? regard <a href="https://it.telkomuniversity.ac.id/">Telkom University</a>
