Orville Johnson-I Get the Blues When It Rains

This is a tune I've been messing around with from Snooks Eaglin, the great New Orleans guitarist. If you've never heard the album this is from, New Orleans Street Singer on Smithsonian Folkways, you should look it up. Killer acoustic guitar and vocals. This version is me on guitar and vocals and I added the slide part on a vintage Roy Smeck Stage DeLuxe Gibson from 1934 or so. Cool sounding ax, basically a 12 fret mahogany dreadnought made for Hawaiian style, meaning a thick, extra wide neck and raised strings. People will often reshape the neck on these and play regular guitar but, boy, does it sound good for lap-style. Hope you enjoy. All thru Chameleon Labs mics and UA solo610 mic pre into ProToolsLE
