Click-Clack (Pop Boom)
2/19/2017
R.I.P.. Clyde Stubblefield. In the NYT piece, he was quoted “There was a factory there that puffed out air — pop-BOOM, pop-BOOM — hit the mountains and came back as an echo...” And train tracks — click-clack, click-clack. I listened to all that for six years, playing my drums against it.”
Click-clack (pop boom)
(Stubblefield groove)
Factory there as an echo back
Chattanooga train on a southern track
A rhythm code when it switches back
A way to groove on a drum track
Click-clack (pop boom)
(Stubblefield groove)
Turn the beat around
To take it back
The sound I always hear is the click-clack
Hearing that machine every day
Follow it along when I play
