VERNON GARRETT - IF I COULD TURN BACK THE HANDS OF TIME


Not to be confused with Tyrone Davis' 1970 masterpiece with the same title, this stomper from Los Angeles based (born in Nebraska) singer Vernon Garrett is a thing unto itself.

Vernon is a journeyman singer who worked the L.A and bay area circuit, oftentimes with his wife at the time (Jewel) who died tragically in 1968. Vernon was despondent for a few years, but came back in a bluesier vein and continues to work to this day in a blues or gospel bag.

This is a wonderful example of a song that is perfectly written.

from 1966...
