The Horse to the Water is the best jazz song which I have heard. I like Sam Brown very good voice. The lyrics of the Horse to the Water is also a very good jazz lyrics. As usually said the people Sam Brown performance is very good. George Harrison wrote this fantastic jazz song. But I like this Sam Brown fantastic voice.
About the Hors to the Water song and lyrics:
George and his son Dhani wrote and recorded tracks for this to contribute to George’s friend Jools Holland’s “Big Band Rock” project just months before George’s death from cancer. The lyrics partially reflect George’s own stubbornness in not quitting smoking despite the medical evidence that it causes the disease, and relates this to other people who ignore warnings, enlightenment and plain common sense.
George recorded his vocals and guitar tracks in Switzerland while Holland would later overdub the “big band” and chorus in his studio in England.

You can take a horse to the water
but you can’t make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
A friend of mine in so much misery
Some people sail through life,but he has struck a reef
I said ‘hey man let’s go out and get some wisdom’
But first he turned on me, then he turned off his nervous system
You take a horse to water but
you can’t make him drink
Oh no, oh no, oh no
You can have it all layed/staked out in front
of you but it still don’t make you think
Oh no, oh no, oh no
Someone I love is gotta problem
Some people thirst for truth, but he would like a drink
I said ‘Hey man this could turn out to be risky’
He said ‘everything’s ok’ as he downed another bottle of whiskey
There’s a preacher out there warned me about Satan
Could be that he knows him
Cause’ He acts like he’s possessed
I said ‘Hey man let’s hear about God realisation
For a change’
he said “We ain’t got time for that
First you must hear the evils of fornication”
