...3-14-06...

Yazzir, "13 Shades of Blues" by "Sidewalk Bob" (me) will be released on 3-14-06 and will be available thru CD Baby fir a mere sum of $13 plus S&H...

This is an all acoustic solo CD with a mix of standard country blues with a couple Bobert originals and even a couple surprises that one wouldn't expect...

Now there's nuthin' that I'd like more than to send a complimentary CD to every Mudcatter but I'm going to have to restrict it down to those who have sent me CD's 'er the comptroller (the P-Vine) will kick my poor ol' boney hillbilly behind...

Bobert - Can we send you a check directly ? I'd be happy to send one this week and you can mail the CD when you get them.

Well, congrats there Bobert. I'd buy one, but since you think me and Martin Gibson are the same person, and he'd NEVER buy one, I guess I can't. BTW, can you list the tracks/songs? Thanks. ;>)

Check it out on Mar. 14th, Mouse, on CD baby... MIght of fact, you can hear samples of every song on the CD.... Almost as good as buying it....

Which way is the better deal for you, Bobert? Do you keep more of the profit if we buy directly from you?

Subject: RE: BS: Bobert's CD Release Date is....
From: Bobert

It works out the same, Kat... CD Baby get $3 for every CD plus S & H and I get $12 (which include S & H) if you buy direct...Either way, I clear about $7 per CD to go toward the $800 I paid for the first 200... Giev the number that I am comp'ing the whole idea is to about break even so the P-Vine won't get upset if I eant to do the second one, for which I have allready done the recording...

Someone asked about the song list...

1. "She Belongs to Me" (Dylan)
2. "Little Red Rooster" (Willie Dixon)
3. "Keep My Grave Kept Clean" (Blind Lemon Jefferson)
4. "Walkin' Blues" (Robert Johnson)
5. "Buttlemilk Blues" (me)
6. "Death Letter" (Son House)
7. "Where Were You" (me again)
8. "Blues With a Feeling" (Little Walter Jacobs)
9. "61 Hi8ghway" (Mississippi Fred McDowell)
10. "Copperhead Road" (Steve Earle)
11. "Preachin' Blues (Son House)
12. "Crossroads Blues" (Robert Johnson)
13 "Waymore's Blues" (Waylon Jennings)


Thanks all...

Hey Bobert!

Congrats! It was so GOOD that they released it a Day Early! CDBABY has it on-line and they are OPEN FOR BIDNESS! Here is the link:

http://cdbaby.com/cd/sidewalkbob

From the samples on the CDBABY site, the recording quality and mixing is purty darn good. I love Dylan's "She Belongs to Me"! The recordings may not be for the feint of heart, but they are Great Solid Blues. Hell they even seem to be a little restrained from what I have seen you play live when the Mojo gets working.

When I hear the tunes the first thing it does is makes me want to play! Dag Nab It! When we getting together again?

Should we order through CDBABY to help you get "Props" with them?

I think I'll buy one from Dick Greenhaus' Camsco. Cause I don't know how much the banks would let you get on this long way of money transfer.

(I just have to hear that beautiful voice on more tracks.)
