Damian Lewis’ Song of the Week: Such a Night

“A third cover from the record, Dr. John’s “Such a Night”, has the right amount of groove nailed to it and is well worth a listen.” – Music Republic Magazine

“Such a Night” is a New Orleans funk and R&B song by Dr. John, released on his 1973 album In the Right Place. Known for its distinctive swampy groove, infectious piano playing, and Dr. John’s signature raspy vocals, the song tells a mischievous tale of unexpected romance. It was a commercial breakthrough for Dr. John, produced by Allen Toussaint, and featuring the funk band The Meters. The song is also famous for its iconic performance in Martin Scorsese’s documentary The Last Waltz, where Dr. John joins The Band for the live rendition. And Damian has it as a bonus track on his debut album Mission Creep.

So… yes! We’re talking about “Such a Night” this week!

Damian Lewis’ Song of the Week: Wanna Grow Old in Paris

This is called ‘Wanna Grow Old in Paris’…

Who doesn’t, right?

– Damian Lewis at Hoxton Hall

Indeed.

I’m sorry I wasn’t able to share a “Song of the Week” post last week—but I promise I had a very good excuse: a four-day getaway to Paris! As my t-shirt proudly declares below, “Paris is always a good idea.” And it truly is—one of the most beautiful and romantic cities in the world.

I felt incredibly lucky to revisit Notre Dame, to be dazzled once again by the Impressionist masterpieces at the Musée d’Orsay, to get lost on the side streets of the Latin Quarter, and to have a drink (or two) at the legendary Café de Flore.

All of this brings me to today’s choice for Damian Lewis’ “Song of the Week”: Wanna Grow Old in Paris. Because really—who wouldn’t?

Here’s what Damian had to say about the song when he dropped it as the first single from his EP, which came out just after the Paris Olympics last year. Continue reading “Damian Lewis’ Song of the Week: Wanna Grow Old in Paris”

Throwback Thursday to Damian Lewis in Agatha Christie’s Poirot

“I was at home a little while ago and that episode came on the TV and I just couldn’t believe how young I was. Where did all those years go?” – Damian Lewis

This was Damian’s response when he was recently asked in an interview with Essex Life about one of his earliest roles on TV, the ITV’s Agatha Christie’s Poirot episode Hickory Dickory Dock.

Lucky you, Damian, you are one of those men who ages like a good bottle of wine… I wanna say red Burgundy to be precise! But in honor of the years that passed since our early 20s, we revisit that young medical student Len Bateson in Hickory Dickory Dock today. ENJOY!

In Case You Missed It: An Exclusive Fan Fun Interview with Damian Lewis

We’re twinning with our vests!

I had my dreams come true last year when Damian agreed to sit with me for an interview about his music during the second leg of his UK tour. And as we can’t wait for Damian to return to stage with guitar in hand in the fall, I would like to share our conversation once again.

Interviewing Damian was always a huge dream for me. In fact, I was able to interview him a couple of times in the years past. But because they happened spontaneously, even though Damian wanted to be generous with his time, he was about to go to his next interview or his next appointment that we had to be very quick. And there were always people around. Continue reading “In Case You Missed It: An Exclusive Fan Fun Interview with Damian Lewis”
