Thanks Letha before the Townes record I had not recorded in about 2 years.          Still Looking For You was my electric 6 string and an amp I built with a 3 in. speaker no effects. I want to mix up what i'm playing right now it Rock and Electric blues And the Beatles stuff. I will be doing some Bluegrass and it would be great to here what you think.          Take care

Hi Letha! It's @ 80% Reverb & 25% Chorus on a Roland Microcube, Black Label Amp setting with 50% gain. Darren Brown 3 string http://www.cigarboxnation.com/photo/just-hanging-out?context=user tuned F# C# f# (.46 .26 chrome flatwound, .17 plain). Eek! Sorry... to much info  :-(  :-(  :-(

Letha -- I just watched a number of your YouTube videos... Mmmmmm, good stuff! Had to watch "Nobody Else But You" a bunch of times and try to play, sing and dance along! Tremendous! Like so much of your music, it just has that "instant classic" feel. You've got some really talented Benders, too! Kudos to all!

In a song writing contest,  I think playing the song alone - as well as you play- is a good idea.

Letha, all three are great songs...  The chord structure of Loving Arms sounds like a venerable gospel tune, i.e., it's very simple, but lacks the "hooks" of the equally pretty Broken Bird. Of those two, I'd say Broken Bird is more memorable. Now, Cool Cool Water is altogether different, but I'm liking it a lot. I love the line, "want to drink from the water but you run away 'cause you just don't want to drown" -- great lyric! It has a timeless metaphorical quality unlike "no text 'how are you?'" (did I hear it right?) which seems dated to current technology. So, right now, I'm leaning towards Cool Cool Water...

 

BTW, I'm really glad you decided to go with CBG for these. I listened to your songs with the band (oh, yes, I googled ya!) and must say that the raw, crude quality of the CBG really complements your terrific vocals even more than regular "in-tune" instruments!

A real pleasure

Hi thanks for your comment about the guitar. It is a Michael Messer Blues resonator, all metal body. I am UK based and actually won this in a competition in Guitarist Mgazine. Winning this steered me back in the direction of the blues, which I have always loved and then towards Cigar Box Guitars and then this site, so it was like winning two prizes. I would trade it in a heartbeat for a voice like yours though (obviously a little deeper!)

Nice to meet you too.   Havin' fun and makin' friends!   What CBGs are all about!

Hi, thanks Letha..and hope you didn't mind me saying that, it's just with a voice like that it's good to have it so you can really hear it!!
