Here's an attempt on another difficult but fun tune.... I think this was the first Blake tune I fell in love with lots of years ago.

Nice! Black Dog is a B.B.favorite.
Enjoyable selection of songs there on YouTube as well.
Thanks

Not only well played and sang, but excellent tone and something rare, solid slow peaceful pace. Not rushed... damned fine. Kind of stuff I enjoy listening to.

What they said! Absolutely great singing too!

Cheers

Cool- but did noone notice that the thread is pushing two years old!?

The age of the post doesn't matter to me.

Fabulous! I really enjoyed that. I love Blind Blake and you really do him justice.

I just realized this thread is over 2 1/2 years old. Funny how a thread like this keeps getting bumped up. I'll have to pay more attention in the future.

Great playing though!

Hi Greg - Don't worry about reviving old threads here. We're fine with that.

Really nice job and thanks for opening my eyes on a problem I always had trying to work this out off the record at normal speed, (I don't have one of those slow downer thingos). First were the bass notes in the first part of the verse and more importantly to go to a G7 instead of D7 after the run down to A7. Also the begiining of the intro you showed is the same as the opening part of the intro to Hey Hey Daddy Blues and I hadn't made the connection before. Basically you have nailed it shut. It is amazing how many variations he had for his song intros, Blake is the master of cool intros
