This guy is great,if you like solid Delta Blues pickin and singin.Name is Scott Ainslie,and you can listen to audio clips here y'all.I especially like his Parchman's Farm and the Billie Holiday tune.

Unfortunately, LEJ, the links to the audio files are no longer any good. Clicking on them gives this message:

Sorry! ... the reference to this page is out of date.

They sounded great. Do you know if he has original songs as well?

That's what I get for being too lazy to scroll down the page! Thanks, LEJ. Excellent stuff. Lyric phrasing like Hendrix and playing like...I don't know...really good anyway.

Hey Leej....GREAT STUFF!!!

And I was about to suggest that Allan make sure his mule hadn't kicked the bucket or wandered off to the back 40.

I have to learn that Billie Holiday song. Know the chords?

I tried to order the CD but that link didn't work ... did you buy the CD, LEJ?

This is such yummy, yummy stuff ...

And what a great guitar -- what is that? A National?

I haven't heard him play but I have a book of Robert Johnson's songs transcribed by Scott Ainslie and Dave Whitehill (Hal Leanoard Publishing for anyone interested in the book) that I think is great! I'm going to the audio clips right now...

THANKS,
Dave T

WW,I'm not sure about the guitar,but I love the resonator he plays on Parchman's Farm.The notes say he plays a selection of "vintage instruments",and I agree about "You Don't Know What Love Is"...what a great tune and very tasty lyrics.I'd love to hear the original.I didn't try to order the CDs yet.If the link doesn't work,I'll try e-mailing the guy,as there's a clicky on the page for that.

Scott has a new CD out, for those who enjoy his stuff. I have Terraplane, which is very good. Order directly from Scott at [e-mail]. He'll autograph copies, if you like.

bringing this old thread back up since Mr Ainslie has been popping up on the Robert Johnson thread.
I noticed I mention his resonator playing on Parchman's Farm from his Terraplane album. Actually, he's playing a Diddly Bow, essentially a primitive Delta instrument composed of four nails, two wires and a long plank.
If you dig the Blues, Terraplane is a must-have. It also features two originals by Scott, Change my Name, and Baby Walks on Fire.

You can watch Scott playing the diddly bow and talking about the intrument here as he performs Parchman's Farm.
