32-20 Blues 32-20 Blues
Here's another RJ tune. Used my harmonica holder ala B. Dylan on this one and abbreviated the lyrics.
Only My Dreams Only My Dreams
My original tune done in a familiar style. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did creating it.
Me and the Devil Me and the Devil
Recorded at Midnight, when the spirit moved me and I hope you'll agree the result is evil. The lyric isn't PC, but is true to the original, but I did add a guitar solo and repeat chorus. Even capoed up 2 frets the Guild F50 guitar rumbles hellishly.
Preachin' Blues Preachin' Blues
This is the Robert Johnson version subtitled "Up Jumped the Devil" , though that phrase is nowhere in the song. This song is based on riffs and turnarounds and uses an open D tuning. The lyrics are mostly from the Son House version
Trouble Trouble Trouble Trouble Trouble Trouble
This guy screwed up, but his misery is your fun. Don't be like this guy. This is a home recording produced by me, PG Music software and MOTU DP software. I'd like to hear this one on the radio, what do you think?
Rain Is Such a Lonesome Sound Rain Is Such a Lonesome Sound
Terraplane Blues Terraplane Blues
This was Robert Johnsons most popular song when he lived. Several other songs including 'Cross Road Blues' have similar structure and licks. Recorded with a Blue Butterfly Deluxe and a National Steel M2 guitar at my home.
Bottle Up and Go Bottle Up and Go
Blues classic with Gibson J-185 12-string a la Leadbelly and a Hohner Big River harp held in a Lee Oscar holder. Recorded on 1 mono take in my basement.
The 7th Son The 7th Son
Willie Dixon gave me a tape of this song shortly before he passed. So this one is for Willie and I hope I done right by you. In the old blues tradition - one singer, one guitar , one mic and the 7th Son.
Steady Rollin' Man Steady Rollin' Man
roll your own RJ's when the icicles on the trees
Little Queen of Spades Little Queen of Spades
Tell Me Something I Dont Know Tell Me Something I Dont Know
This Cowboy likes strong women. Guitar boogie
The Other Side of Goodbye The Other Side of Goodbye
A song about accepting and living with the pain of separation
I Never Had It So Good I Never Had It So Good
Sometimes you don't know what you had until it's gone. Can you still go back. Will it ever be the same.
