Here is a stompy thing with my steel bodied, bongos and shakers, and a bunch of background vocals. I tried to get that Stagger Lee bad man folklore vibe which used to be popular in Blues decades ago.

Jimmy Alabam has some great guitar sounds, very traditional in its appeal. Like it, a simple song that kicks ass, like the question and answer idea.......very good slide.......best wishes.......dylan

<p>I started playing guitar when I was about 11 years old. Throughout high school I was pretty active and then stopped until around 30 years old or so when I started playing again for a few years. Kids came and kind of ended that with the exception of the acoustic on the porch. Started again in 2010 and haven't stopped.</p><p>Since then, I have pulled all of my instruments from the bleak depths of storage and brought them back to life so to speak. Upright bass, electric piano, electric bass, banjo, ukelele, sitar, 8-10 electrics, 12 string, steel body, a 100 year old parlor guitar and lots of other instruments that get unearthed here and there.</p><p>Not much live playing but love the home recording thing.</p><p>I have always loved blues but often go on tangents of rock, country, and whatever. That is the fun of recording, anything goes.</p>
