Lonesome Fridays 2024 #10: Randall Collins
Happy New Year from the family home in North Georgia and thanks to all who have been tuning in to this Lonesome Fridays series! We’re bringing it in for a landing with Randall Collins, yet another song from “local hero” Norman Blake (just kidding - he does live in N. GA but his notoriety is on the worldwide level!). This one appears on Norman’s 1972 debut album Home in Sulphur Springs.
FYI for you fellow bluegrass guitar nerds out there, I’ll be teaching a 5 week Zoom class on the Sulphur Springs record starting January 5. Link below for the info, and please shoot me a message if you’d like to sign up. Unlike my rendition here, we’ll be getting into the nitty gritty detail of what Norman ...

Doc Watson Song Series Recap - Michael Daves’ School of Bluegrass Vocals on ArtistWorks
Просмотров 1,1 тыс.Месяц назад
I just wrapped up a fifteen month series paying tribute to Doc Watson songs, in the monthly welcome videos for my school of bluegrass vocals on @artistworks. This was to commemorate Doc’s centennial in 2023 and highlight for my students his riveting vocal style, vast repertoire, and enduring influence. I was fortunate to have the help of some amazing special guests including several fellow Arti...
LONESOME FRIDAYS 2024 #9 - That's the Way Love Goes
Просмотров 454Месяц назад
Well, I'm doubling up on Lefty Frizzell songs in this Lonesome Fridays series and don't care what anybody thinks! That's The Way Love Goes was a late entry into Lefty's catalog (1973) and under-the-radar at that, released as a b-side to no fanfare. If people know the song, it's usually because Merle Haggard had a hit with it in 1983. I'd heard Merle's version but the song didn't really stick wi...

Просмотров 465Месяц назад
I was recently asked to demo an early '60s Gibson Everly Brothers model guitar for a museum collection. Those guitars look great but don't usually sound great for lead playing, which is fine because they're intended to provide thumpy backup for singing, and the last thing you'd want on an Everly Brothers track would be anything to distract from their exquisite vocals. I asked if I could sing as...
Lonesome Fridays 2024 #7 - Slow Train Through Georgia
Просмотров 5062 месяца назад
Last week's Lonesome Fridays song was about a fast train through Georgia, so this week's I thought I'd go the totally opposite direction and do Slow Train Through Georgia by fellow Georgian, the great Norman Blake. The guitar I'm playing is my first instrument, which I got for Christmas when I was 11 or 12. It's a 1982 Yairi Alvarez which I sold to one of my oldest music buddies about 20 years ...

Happy Thanksgiving! For me, this year's celebration was low-key and lovely, at home with my wife in snowy New England. I'm thinking of my extended family in Georgia though we try for a big gathering down there every other year and this is an off year.

Lonesome Fridays 2024 #5 - You Don't Know Me

For this week's Lonesome Fridays I bring you one of the greatest songs to ever come out of the state of Texas, which is really saying something. Cindy Walker wrote You Don't Know Me off of a prompt from Eddy Arnold (there's a great video on YT of her telling this story, while wearing fancy silk gloves!). Ray Charles had a hit with it, on one of his Country & Western albums. My version utilizes ...

Lonesome Fridays 2024 #2: Look What Thoughts Will Do
Просмотров 4893 месяца назад
For this week's Lonesome Fridays I'm going back to a Lefty Frizzell classic that I have played in many a solo set. It's got sort of a wailing guitar part that wonders what Bill Monroe might have sounded like on a lap steel. Anyhow, Lefty is the best and I once got to play his famous Gibson J-200 guitar, with his name emblazoned on the pickguard and a custom Bigsby neck. It's the guitar that hel...

Welcome back to Lonesome Fridays, where I share a song each week for the last 10 weeks of the year. They'll all go on a playlist where you can string them together to form a more-or-less coherent solo set.

Dark Hollow - Clarence White with Muleskinner Class Announcement
Просмотров 5863 месяца назад
I’m very excited to be offering a new Zoom course on the guitar style of my hero, Clarence White. It’ll be a deep dive into his playing on the 1973 Muleskinner recordings - both the live TV performance and the studio album. This was one of the last recordings Clarence made before he died tragically in June 1973. His playing is remarkable as he drew inspiration from his Muleskinner bandmates and...

Billy’s been singing it solo a capella from time to time but I learned a chilling duet ...
