Found a Barlow knife in the woods today.

 

Put me in mind of Bessie Smith's "'lectric chair":

 

 

I cut him with my barlow

I kicked him in the side

I stood there laughing o'er him

While he wallowed 'round and died

Fucking amazing.

 

I've never heard that before.  It also deserves a place on the Murder Ballads thread and on the Fantasy Cover Versions thread, because I bet Johnny Cash would have loved lines like

"I wanna take a journey to the Devil down below

 I done killed my man, I wanna reap just what I sow"

It's a great song.

 

It's been covered a few times, including this much more tongue-in-cheek version by Dave Bromberg (and his very good band):

 

 

But the original can't be beat.

Listening to Christone 'Kingfisher' I grams debut album. Heard about the kid before a few years back. Some talent only about 21 too. 

 

Throwback to BB King and Buddy Guy era older bluesmen but adding some Stevie Ray guitar at times

 

The opening track outside this town has pulled straight from Aerosmith Same old song and dance.

There's a folk revival in Ireland at the moment, these guys are really great

A lot.

 

 

Their second LP came out today, We Are Sent Here By History & it sounds fucking magnificent.

I love the simplicity of this, stumbled across it recently.

Charley Patton - High Water Everywhere 

 

Bob Dylan  - High Water (for Charley Patton)

Only since taking up guitar a few months back have I realised how brilliant blues is and how great the guitarists who play it are. Jazz is not my thing but the guys and gals who play Jazz and Blues are fantastically talented.

Loving this album at the moment (Wayne Shorter's Native Dancer), took me a while to get tuned into the Brazilian vocals but it was worth it.

Decent Ella Fitzgerald documentary on BBC2 the other day.  Well worth catching on the iPlayer.

Only discovered this dude today. What a voice.

Somehow only just found Keb Mo. Some great acoustic blues tunes.

[General Dryness]

Mook has somehow managed to get into my YouTube algorithms. These fellas turned up out of the blue in my suggestions. Wiki'd them, they've been going since 1974 and had about 30 albums. Never heard of the cunts. Having a listen and getting my relax on. If I still smoked weed I'd be listening to them for the rest of the day.

They had a pretty big crossover hit with "Morning Dance."

In the States? I'm sure they never did anything in the UK.

 

ETA Apparently yes, number 17 in the UK singles chart. It was 1979 and I was only 5, so my memories of that period are a bit limited.

[Bruce Spanner]

Oh, he good GOOD!

Never listened to Completely Well as a whole, despite being a BB king fan. Have mainly just listened to the live records and compilations. It's an all-timer, isn't it?! 

 

Fantastic record.
