If I were to make one criticism – hopefully a constructive one – it would be that I think your singing voice is perhaps just a little too in thrall to the singers you love at the moment. I reckon that you could admit a little more of your own voice in there - your singing voice currently sounds very Bob Dylan/Woody Guthrie to me. |

Davy's use of the bass line (which he showed me back in the '60s, and which you can hear on the "Folk, Blues & Beyond" album) is very specific, and worth a listen. I created some tablature for it, which you can get from my website: Cocaine Blues and you can see it in action on YouTube here: Will Fly tablatures - C I don't sing it on the video - just play the tune with some variations which you may or may not find interesting - and you have your own style, which is important. :-) |

From: The Sandman cannot see any resemblance to davy graham, here is a fine version from dave van ronk, as i understand it he is responsible for the interesting chord progression in his version. however your version is enjoyable, here is dave van ronks https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3qzPjztRAoY |
