Jerry Leger (Canadian singer-songwriter)
Foto by Arthur at the Crossroad Sessions in t,Zwijnshoofd (Bergen Op Zoom)
Jerry Leger's performance during the "Crossroad Sessions" was a worthy conclusion to a wonderful concert season. I didn't know Jerry very well; I had seen his name pop up occasionally. But I was pleasantly surprised: a good voice, beautiful songs, and a good story too. All of this was accompanied by drummer Kyle Sullivan, who also provided backing vocals. Below we see Jerry with a full band; also well worth seeing!
Live at Paradise Theatre in Toronto, May 31st, 2022 "Big Smoke Blues"
Jerry Leger is a Canadian singer-songwriter. Since 2005, he has released over 14 albums under his own name and more from various side projects. In 2020, Leger self-published a book of poetry titled Just The Night Birds. Longtime supporter, Ron Sexsmith says "Jerry Leger has that spark in him that all the great songwriters have. He's the real deal." Sexsmith has also guested on a couple of Leger's albums (Wikipedia)

Steve Earle & The Dukes (and The Duchesses) feat. Allison Moorer- City of Immigrants
"City of Immigrants"
Livin' in a city of immigrants
I don't need to go travelin'
Open my door and the world walks in
Livin' in a city of immigrants
Livin' in a city that never sleeps
My heart keepin' time to a thousand beats
Singin' in languages I don't speak
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of black
City of white
City of light
City of innocents
City of sweat
City of tears
City of prayers
City of immigrants
Livin' in a city where the dreams of men
Reach up to touch the sky and then
Tumble back down to earth again
Livin' in a city that never quits
Livin' in a city where the streets are paved
With good intentions and a people's faith
In the sacred promise a statue made
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of stone
City of steel
City of wheels
Constantly spinnin'
City of bone
City of skin
City of pain
City of immigrants
All of us are immigrants
Every daughter, every son
Everyone is everyone
All of us are immigrants
Everyone
Livin' in a city of immigrants
River flows out and the sea rolls in
Washin' away nearly all of my sins
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of black
City of white
City of light
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of sweat
City of tears
City of prayers
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of stone
City of steel
City of wheels
Livin' in a city of immigrants
City of bone
City of skin
City of pain
City of immigrants
All of us are immigrants
All of us are immigrants
