cd notes -Country Blues

by Joe

I'm gonna try to post a daily blurb about every song on the disc. An introduction to each of our  little bastard children, if you will……


1) Country Blues (traditional)

Taken from Dock Boggs' 'Country Blues' which in turn was taken from an old song called 'Hustling Gamblers.'gone.jpg

I spoke about Dock Boggs earlier, and this is my favorite of the old traditional songs that he used to sing. There's something kind of oddly soothing about a song where everything's going to shit, but you've still got the gumption left in you to tell everybody to kiss your ass………     I think we did it justice.

Beautifully incorrigible. Kinda reminds me of Beaudelaire's 'Rebel.'
