Excellent, I love that song. Some of Blind Willie McTell's best work was in those '49/'50 sessions. I too have learnt that song by ear, it's good to see that you got that opening riff - something I could never do. If you have time I don't suppose you could tab it out?
Sounding good, Le Trompeur. What new McTell songs are you referring to, on what Document CD, btw?
The Document CD in question is Blind Willie McTell & Curley Weaver The Post War Recordings 1949 - 1950, BDCD-6014. Some of the highlights for me are A To Z Blues, You Can't Get Stuff No More, How About You and Trixie. But all 28 tracks are thoroughly enjoyable, and there's something about the way Willie's voice aged that - to me - makes it sound even sweeter.
Ah, I see, but these are not previously unreleased. All that material has been available previously elsewhere, though How About You and an alt. take of It's My Desire were somewhat hidden on a Delmark CD of the Back Porch Boys.
