Well, well, well...
I've done my work and so it's now up to my guy in Missiissippi to do his and maybe come the first of the year there's gonna be a nice debut "Sidewalk Bob" CD ready to to go to CD Baby fir distribution...
Thought I re3corded some 33 songs in Mississippi it looks like that first Sidewalk Bob CD will feature the followin:
1. Son House's "Preachin Blues" with me playin' my 1935 Dobro Tenor resonator...
2. Bob Dylan's "She Belongs to Me" from his first album... Some fine blues...
3. Robert Johnson's "Walkin' Blues"... This was the first blues ong I ever learnt up so I had to put it on the CD...
4. A Bobert orginal "Goin' Home" from a long, long time ago...
5. "Copperhead Road" by my main man, Steve Earle... But very bluesified...
6. Blind Lemon Jefferson's "Keep My Grave Kept Clean" in Double dropped D tunin'...
7. "Rollin' & Tumblin'" by Muddy Wasters, etal...
8. Mississippi Fred McDowell's "61 Highway" in D tunin' on the meatl rso...
9. "Where Were You", a song I wrote the first time I ever attended Blues Week in Elkins, WV...
10. The surprise cut on the CD is gonna be Waylon Jenning's "Waymore Blues" which has lines from somer old blues songs... This on egets way out there...
11. Back to SDteve Earle and the song that Emmi Lou Harris has said is the best song that has ever been written, "Devil's Right Hand", done all Bobertfied...
12. Bobert's "Buttermilk Blues"...
13. Howlin' Wolf's "Little Red Rooster"
14. Oh, bad, bad Bobert!!! Yeah, a very bluesified version of "Season of the Witch"...
15. Bsck to my hero, Son House, a strummed version of "Empire Sate Express"...
16. Okay, back to Robert Johnson with a rowdy version of "Crossroads Blues" in open D tunin' on the metal reso... Never done it this way but...
and 17. back to the master, Son House, with "Death Letter Blues" which took 3 (three) takes!?!?!?... But the 3rdtime was the charm...
The rest went down on the first take...
I'm happy with what I did and am lookin' forward to seein' waht comes from the work that Iz done...
