RJ: Can't do him justice, but you can give the songs your best shot, which is what I couldn't help to try here. Public domain, so hopefully no problem. I enjoyed to just holler!
Acoustic slide and blues playing on the National Reso-phonic tricone guitar.
I'm really a rock guitarist, and I used to play professionally in various bands. These days, I'm into country blues, ragtime and slide playing in open tunings on my National Reso-phonic Tricone Style 1 guitar. I'm attracted to the idea of one person being able to play everything necessary for a full listening experience, the portability and ever-readiness of the one-man-band. I guess this is a very social attraction too, and hence I hope you'll enjoy the tunes I've uploaded here. Everything you hear is recorded in my home on my PC using RME hardware interface and a Rode Nt-1 condenser microphone. Voice and guitar at the same time, into the same microphone.

Story behind the song
The poetry of RJ is something I love very much. Nearly as big as this love is my frustration to sometimes hear his great tunes reduced to mere tired shuffles by "blooze" bands and musicians. I suppose I'm just a really conservative and stuffy kind of stiff, but so be it. At least I'm not stiff enough to hinder myself from trying to play this tune - for better or for worse. Hrmf!
