Malcolm Holcombe - Sittin' Sad. This is not so much a musical performance as it is an exorcism. I almost deleted the original recording without viewing first, but for some reason lingered to watch this "Slingblade" like character just long enough to catch the first ringing notes of his percussive fingerstyle acoustic attack - and I was hooked. Thanks again to Jammin' at Hippie Jacks for introducing me to another great Roots Music musician.
sittin' sad
shotgun blasts an' drum circles
bustin' rocks an' workin' my nerves
mama's mad and dog tired
sittin' sad and wonderin'
april fool's a funny day
breakin' rules and laughin'
mama's mad and dog tired
sittin' sad and wonderin'
knoxville bound again an' a'goin'

town to town my head a'spinnin'
I can't sit still i miss you here
but mama's wore out and tired

cause mama's mad an' dog tired
she's sittin' sad and wonderin'
shotgun blasts an' drum circles
bustin' rocks an' workin' my nerves
