Hi all, Cornelius Bright's versions of "Devil Got My Woman" and "My Baby's Gone", posted by Pan in the Cornelius Bright thread, were both played in cross-note tuning. All best, Johnm
Hi all, After re-reading this thread and looking in the "Adventures in Cross-note" page at Weeniepedia, I realized we had never identified the Henry Townsend songs played in cross-note tuning. As he was one of the foremost practitioners in the tuning, it is kind of a serious omission. The following tunes of Henry's were all played in cross-note, and I may add others. * Doctor, Oh Doctor * Henry's Worry Blues * Jack of Diamonds/Georgia Rub * Mistreated Blues * Poor Man Blues * She's Got A Mean Disposition All best, Johnm
As per video posted over on "Down The Dirt Road", Arthur Crudup played "That's All Right, Mama/If I Get Lucky" out of cross-note tuning.
I've been listening to a LOT of Arthur Crudup lately, and while I haven't heard EVERYTHING, at this point I'd be hard pressed to pick out an example that was NOT played in cross-note!
I don't know, Frank, I think you may be right, at least for his E-sounding stuff (and I don't know if he had anything that wasn't E-sounding stuff). Whenever I hear him, I find myself thinking about how terrific an electric guitar can sound sometimes. And his singing, gosh! All best, Johnm
Hi all, On his album released a couple of years ago, "Every Day Seem Like Murder Here", Hayes McMullan played the song "Sugar" out of cross-note tuning. All best, Johnm
