John Stewart - Daydream Believer (John Stewart) Warner Bros. 7525 - 1971
Siempre me ha dado mucho morbo escuchar y conocer las versiones originales de canciones que me gustan, y que previamente había conocido en boca de otros.
No es este el caso exactamente, ya que The Monkees editaron antes que el propio autor esta gran canción, que siempre ha sido una de mis favoritas del grupo. Aunque ilustra y enternece oir la versión de quien escribió la canción en cuestión en primer lugar.
John Stewart, de San Diego, California, se unió a The Kingston Trio en 1961. Cuando estos se disolvieron en 1967 comenzó una larga carrera en solitario, que se extendió hasta su muerte, ahora hace un año. Muchos artistas han grabado sus canciones, aunque tal vez este "Daydream Believer" sea su canción bandera. Aqui podemos escucharla en la frágil voz de su autor, tal vez cercana a la de un Johnny Cash, por ejemplo.
Está producida por su hermano Mike Stewart, del grupo We Five, y aunque mucho más sobria que la espectacular e irrepetible versión de The Monkees, transmite una calidez y una intimidad que tienen luz propia. Despues de todo, era su propia canción.

To me it's always been like a secret pleasure to know and listen to original versions of songs I like, and that I had previously known with others covers.
This isn't exactly the case here,'cause The Monkees released this great song, "Daydream Believer", before its own creator did. Though it's always illustrative and touching to hear the song in the voice of the one who wrote it first.
John Stewart, from San Diego, California, joined The Kingston Trio in 1961. When they split in 1967 he started a long solo career which stretched just until his death, about one year ago now. Many different artists have recorded his songs through the years, tough probably this "Daydream Believer" is his most representative one. We can hear it here with the fragile voice of its writer, maybe a bit close to say Johnny Cash.
It was produced by his brother Mike Stewart, from the band We Five, and altough quite more sober than the spectacular Monkees cover, it shows some kind of warmth and intimacy that shines all through. After all, it was his own song.
