Look Out Cleveland
"Look Out Cleveland" is the title of the Robbie Robertson-written song on The Band's self-titled album, also known as ''The Brown Album''. The song begins with a boogie-woogie blues riff by pianist Richard Manuel followed by lead singer Rick Danko warning -- "''Look out Cleveland, storm is coming through, And it’s runnin’ right up on you''". The song's reference is presumably to Cleveland, Ohio, but Cleveland, Texas has also been suggested. "Look Out Cleveland" differs from most of the songs on The Band's first two albums in that is more influenced by urban blues music than by rural music. According to music critic Nick DeRiso, Elton John's early song " Take Me to the Pilot" appears to be influenced by this song. Soundtrack Listing "Look Out Cleveland" is featured in the movie '' A Home at the End of the World'', a film adaptation of the novel of the same name by Michael Cunningham. In the film, the song is used in a scene where the two main characters (played by Colin Fa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
