Hi Garry,
Sounds great. It is good to hear that you are writing songs and not just doing covers. I have many friends in Texas.
The guitar part reminds me of Mose Allison, who was a big influence on JJ Cale's music.
Sam Mitchell used to do a great Mose Allison piano-style open tuned guitar part, I think it was on his last album, Resonating. The song is Parchman Farm.
Shine On
Michael

Nice you mention Mose here, another of my biggest favourites.
The last time I saw him live, he did Parchman Farm, which I believe was written by Leadbelly.
I played that song many times in guitar based constellations,works nice together with a harp.
Alan Haynes, Tx, use to do a great texas blues version.

Yes, much of my set consists of my own songs and instrumentals or non-blues covers. Much as I love Blues I've taken a decision to step back from it and take inspiration from slide players like Johnny Dickinson (how's he doing?) Martin Simpson and Joe topping. Mind you, if the mood takes me... Taking Slide Guitar out of the "Blues Ghetto". |
