Eight-bar thing on my tricone with a slow heavy beat. Friend of mine played it for me, I felt like doing my own version.

David Kampmann

Acoustic slide and blues playing on the National Reso-phonic tricone guitar.

I'm really a rock guitarist, and I used to play professionally in various bands. These days, I'm into country blues, ragtime and slide playing in open tunings on my National Reso-phonic Tricone Style 1 guitar. I'm attracted to the idea of one person being able to play everything necessary for a full listening experience, the portability and ever-readiness of the one-man-band. I guess this is a very social attraction too, and hence I hope you'll enjoy the tunes I've uploaded here. Everything you hear is recorded in my home on my PC using RME hardware interface and a Rode Nt-1 condenser microphone. Voice and guitar at the same time, into the same microphone.

Story behind the song

Again, I'm ignorant as to who actually wrote this song. It seems to me that it's probably an old gospel standard - or did the Stones really do it? Oh well - if you know it, feel free to enlighten me on the message board. I just fell into the groove an melody, and thought the Tampa Red-like eight-bar structure and bottleneck tones to be nice. Hope you concur, and that the "singing" is not too intrusive.
