Here is a stompy thing with my steel bodied, bongos and shakers, and a bunch of background vocals. I tried to get that Stagger Lee bad man folklore vibe which used to be popular in Blues decades ago.

Just getting back into this after a long hiatus. I purchased a used Korg d16 - 16 track recorder around the Fall of 2009 for $ 100.00 and I haven't touched a recorder in nearly 25 years. That was in the 1980's with a Tascam Porta 01-4 track. Things have come a long ways. The guitars and music equipment came out of a long hibernation soon after.

Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam was a big man Stood as tall as Uncle Sam Strong as an ox, Cold as a tomb Put you in a box, if he didn't like you Mojo bags, Johnny Cockarooo Wouldnt help you much, if he didnt like you Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam had a wife She nagged him morning, noon, and night Jimmy Alabam had a big big knife Like I said, he had a wife Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Judge said Jimmy won't get no bail You wont see life outside this jail Gonna get a rope and hang you high Wont let you down until you die Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man When Jimmy woke up, he wasnt alone The Devil was beside. Jimmy felt at home Jimmy said, "I'll rule this place too He kicked out the Devil and stole his shoes Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man Jimmy Alabam was a bad bad man
