1974 - Beaded Dreams through Turquoise Eyes
The first album without big success
The sixth "Redbone" album is a much more commercial one. Unfortunatly none of these songs became a hit, even if "Suzi Girl" deserved it. However some beautiful songs, typical Redbone ones like " Cookin' With d'Redbone".
With the recent release of the CD this album is completed with 6 more songs. Songs that didn't appear on previous records, except on singles more then 40 years ago. So this a new opportunity to discover great Redbone songs from the best era.

Lyrics
At the threat of his life
He can't get a little independence
Say your sister's got a babe
Her man has gone away
She cries like the Dickens night 'till morn'
Got no bread to pay the landlord
Got a song that I can sing to clear my head
One more time for your trouble
And you say the hell with it and keep repeating
One more time for his wife,
one more time for his life
One more time for all his independence
One more time for the rent,
one more time for the man
One more time for sister and her baby
One more time is all you have to say
To get you right, oh
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
One more time, just a little bit
Say, your brother's got a Jones
And he looks like skin and bones
He says he can kick it when he wants to
Or your mama's on her feet
She's eatin' at the street
All your friends get the giggles when she pass
Got no pride to face the world with
'Cause my head is on my chest, I'm looking downward
One more time and then the problem
Got to straighten out my brain from going crazy
One more time for the Jones,
one more time for the bones
One more time for kicking when he wants to
One more time for the feet,
one more time for the street
One more time for all the laughing faces
One more time for his wife,
one more time for his life
One more time for all his independence
One more time for the rent,
one more time for the man
One more time for sister and her baby
One more time for the Jones,
one more time for the bones
One more time for kicking when he wants to
I hear a sound inside my head
I gotta know it, it's a product of my invention
Power of your suggestion
Thirty-two bars of electric guitars
And a choir of angels remounding the milky way
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you,
think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about just loving you
the whole day long
Free, free as the sun up in the sky
Free as a bird I fly away into new directions
Making unreal corrections
Swooping in air at impossible speeds
And I head for the moon
And I'm there in a flash of light
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you,
think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about just loving you
the whole day long
I, I see a carnaval of joy
I smell the cotton,
then the merry-go-round illusion
There is no right conclusion
People play games for a cuddly toy
And a marchingband plays
for the children who laugh with me
That's how I feel when I'm with you, Suzi girl
Suzi girl, you're my world
And I think about you,
think about you all day long
Suzi girl, you're my whole wide world
And I think about…
