Really nice, I agree with Uncle Bud that the accompaniment works well with this song.

thanks, all! There's undoubtedly more going on in that one than I got to, and I did cop the little interlude from Ernie Hawkins - I heard him play that in the context of Cocaine Blues years and years ago. I asked him about it and he said that Rev. Davis had played something like that for him... it was nice to honor that in some way.
The J-45 is back from some surgery, and its reappearance is definitely distracting me from the fiddle hole I've been in. This song was in the guitar when it came back:
Excellent!
Greatr singing on this one! And the guitar's surgery appears to be a very succesful one! Cheers Pan Thanks, Parlor Picker, Prof and Pan.
For those interested in the details - as it turns out, the guitar is a 1961 J-45 that was apparently re-topped some time in the 70s. At that time, the logo on the headstock was likely replaced as well. The bridgeplate that was put on in the 70s was extremely thick and scored. At some point, the guitar was also fretted with lamentably flat and wide frets - the kind of thing you'd expect on a Les Paul in about 1984. The surgery consisted of a neck reset, refret and bridge plate replacement with a smaller, thinner example - all of this essentially returned the guitar to a state much closer to its original and it plays and sounds wonderful!

Yes, Frankie, more real good stuff.
I've commented before on those serious looking mics on the edge of the screen. Would love to see you put up more material on Bandcamp. Frankie never disappoints....great playing AND great VOCALS!!! Really great Frankie....
Rick Thanks, Kokomo and Rick. I'll have to organize some things for bandcamp - I was doing ok with it in the beginning, then I had a kind of dry spell (turning out to be seasonal, in hindsight), but when I started back up again I wasn't being as organized as I could have been... Time to change that!
