My take on Booker White's hard driving anthem.
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
Always loved the tune, nothing swings like Bukka. Relaxed, yet hard driving, he comes on like a Mack truck or a force of nature - or both. He used to say that his tunes were just pulled out of the sky. I understand that as improvisation, and this kind of music has to rely heavily on just that as I see it. Without a strong element of improvisation and spontaneity, the blues dies a thousand painful deaths. Bukkas lesson: Whatever you do, wing it, man, wing it! Thank you Bukka.
