The presence of Tony Joe White’s vocals on this track make it really easy to guess which of the two souls moved to the foreground on “Aspen Colorado”. After all, the duo had already remixed the late great Swamp Rock singer’s biggest hit “Rainy Night In Georgia” back in 2003. Big success. Which had to lead to a follow-up which happened on Boozoo’s !K7 debut “Dust My Broom”. The album’s opener “Keep Going” featured Mr. White.
After a remix and a guest appearance, this is a cover of another Tony Joe White classic. “Aspen Colorado” was part of what we would now probably call a double-A-side 7″ back in 1968, on the back of the nominal A-side “Polk Salad Annie”. And while Annie sure isn’t Boozoo Bajou material, “Aspen Colorado” virtually cried for a Boozoo Bajou treatment.
In fact, this lovely re-interpretation of “Aspen Colorado” was part of the 2005 sessions prior to the release of “Dust My Broom”. Which means, metaphorically speaking, back in a time when there was just one soul dwelling in the project’s breast. Apparently it wasn’t possible to publish this little beauty earlier, partly due to the tragic death of Tony Joe White in 2018, and it seems that his son Jody finally kind of gave the go-ahead.
Seyberth and Heider did what they did best in those days, giving the crooner side of White a supremely relaxed beat, the warmth and the inimitable musical humidity that goes so well with that deep Southern voice. White sang his old song again and played both guitar and harmonica. Super smooth, and if the summer of ’21 hadn’t been such a massive let-down this would definitely have been an ideal track to accompany a drink or two at sundown.
