Rolling Mill Blues - Peg Leg Howell (not really a I-V-IV, though)
?* "Little Woman, You're So Sweet"--Blind Foy Fuller
Actually, I guess "Trouble In Mind", and "Little Woman, You're So Sweet", may be an 8 bar blues sub-set:? ones in which the second bar is a I 7 chord instead of a V 7.
I reckon the relaxed 8-bar definition would let in "How Long" and its variants, too.
Didn't Charlie Patton do one eight-bar blues, maybe the later discovered and really whupped-sounding "Jim Lee Blues"? I haven't listened to it for a long time, but I remember being surprised that he did an eight-bar blues the first time I heard it.
E, C#7-F#7, B7-E-B7
Somehow the last four bars sounded familiar
?|? IV |? IV |? I?|? I? |
?|? V7 |? V7 | I-IV |? I(7) |
Listened to Fuller's Untrue Blues 8-bar on the way in to work.? What a tune - he really gets the bass popping!? And then he uses an extended 12-bar instrumental break a couple of different times.
I was just wondering, can any of you could think of any Hillbilly 8-bar blues?
Wow, that shoe took a long time to drop!
It's interesting, too, that it is kind of like a sped-up 16-bar blues, in that it goes to the IV chord twice. All best,Hi all:
