The fact is that this song was older then those blues guys. It was sang in the cotton fields and at work. There is a recording of "Another Man Done Gone" that shows it. The original creator of the blues song with this idea was Big Joe Williams. Another guys like McDowell and Lightnin did their version after.
@@MoneyManBLUES have you ever been to Memphis, TN ? All of the Blues Gold is their. I grew up in Vermont, their a record store had a good collection of Blues tapes, Albert Collins, Johnny Copeland, etc;etc; but one time I took a road trip, destination “ Memphis, TN, their Beele Street.( I may have spelled that street name wrong) . But that is where I found more blues tapes. Little Walter, Kim Wilson, Lightnin Hopkins. They have the music, and the cool names .
Hi Money Man. Please look into a festival in Martinique believe every year featuring guitar. R.L., and I played it in 1990. A great Brazilian band was there, Joe Pass. They would love you. Tell them you play alot of R.L.. But, original stuff similar in that vein. And , your singing adds to your guitar playing!!!!
Really good, you got the groove and the „E-string- drone“ quite right! I play that song too, but my version is not that good...well I gonna steal someting from you (old blues tradition😉)
Man, I’ve said this before, but you got it, I aspire to play as good as you someday: played in Open Dmaj/min for the last decade but now switched back to Standard and having fun, challenging for my fingers to do what I want, but I like challenging, lol:! Keep ‘em coming!!..
@@MoneyManBLUES Claro que si , hablaremos sobre ti aqui, para ver la posibilidad de que algun organizador de festivales, te invite, aqui a México! Abrazo fuerte :)
Man thank you so much!! You can listen my album on almost all platforms, but the physical one still need to be made. I will sure share about it when I have it.
Merci c'est un plaisir de vous écouter j'ai découvert le blues avec mon frère j'avais 14/15 ans disque achetés chez des disquaires venant des USA aujourd'hui j'ai presque 69 ans et le blues est le meilleur médicament que je connaisse un bonjour de france
Bravo superbe couverture! Best of the Best. Does anyone knows where Ican find the tabs It would be realy helpfull for an intermediate guitar player +++ lots of work......
Thank you so much my friend. I'm not used to working with tablatures. What I did to learn this song was watch a video of Lightnin' Hopkins himself playing it.
Hello my friend, this is in standard tuning. Its E position but the capo on the third fret so it turns the song to be in the key of G. So its the key of G, E position (how to play) and standard tuning.
Man, I randomly clicked on your music on here and I was blown away. A lot of people now doing the blues but there is always something missing. Luckily not with you.
I have an idea that this was a work song, a melody, that ended up being transformed into this Blues version by Big Joe Williams. But I have no precision or certainty about this information, it is just a memory of something I read.
@@MoneyManBLUES ~ Big Joe was the first to record it and make it famous, others followed his lead. I’m not sure who gets credit for the lyrics but I know for certain it was Mose Allison!
Esa es la idea en general de muchos musicos guitarristas del llamado Country Blues (blues acústico rural): tener una base con los graves y melodias con las agudas. Un abrazo y gracias por el comentario!
