Yet another variation on Blind Willie's famous theme, this time with Rasmus on pedalsteel.
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
One rainy summer afternoon, we sat down and made this one together in Rasmus' house. We're both happy with the way the sounds speak and blend with each other. The tune is nothing like the original - or indeed the other version that I play solo on this page, but as the inspiration is clear, we retained the title. Homage a Willie! Played on my old OMI model 1000 Style 3 Dobro that I traded in for the Tricone - also a nice guitar...
