Just worked this Piece out today.In listening to That's No Way To Get Along by Robert Wilkins I hear his guitar with a distinct banjo rythm. Many guitar playing, blues singers who recorded in the 1920s & 30s First learned music playing the banjo or were at least influenced at an early age by hearing it played by their elders; hence influencing their style. I think it,s not so much the "bluesy notes" as the phrasing that is the chalenge to work out to make it the blues.

RB -- I LOVE it!!!
What a wonderful and original attack on this great old song! This number has always been one of my own favorites, and I've developed at least 3 distinctly different settings and moods for it over the years in my own playing...but nary a one of them has ever featured banjo!
You've got great bluesy notes AND an infectious, driving rhythm here -- That funky Gus Cannony feel (think: Feather Bed), but technically much more sophisticated, and to my ears more interesting. (Great singing, too.)
A perfect country blues/string band hybrid, or crossover, piece.
WOW. Send more!

Yeah man, I'll endorse Dr. G's WOW
RB, never thought of a banjo rhythm in this piece - but I think you are absolutely right.
And Imagine, creating a new country blues ... in a day! :) Wow.
