Rising River Blues - slack mp3

(1/2) > >>

Slack:
Welp, just trying to be a sport and give Frank a little company.? This was recorded a little over a year ago - I think I play it a little better now, but not enough different to re-record.? :P
This mp3 sounds a little rushed to me (a constant battle of mine) - but not too bad.? I sure love this tune.

I will try to get something I'm currently working on down in the near future.

cheers,
slack

It's pretty clear from your reading of the tune that you love this song.  Sounds to me like you have a lot of control over your speed - more than you give yourself credit for (that's for sure).  I'd be curious to hear how the accompaniment sounded with the guitar tuned about a whole step low - would that put it into a weird vocal space for you?

With a 5 note vocal range - I'm always into a weird vocal space.? :P

I'll give it a try.? My voice is pitched fairly low, but I often have problems pushing enough air in what would seem to be a more natural range.

cheers,

I know exactly what you mean.? I have the same problem with Rolling Mill Blues, but haven't worked out a solution there, yet.

Richard:
Now I don't know whether you will take this as a compliment or not (!) but your voice reminds me of Jelly Rol Morton singing on the Library of Congress recordings, particularly Winin' Boy.
