I saw Shaye shedding a tear when playing her part in this song. It was at the saturday morning performance in Breda. Very touchy song. The two voices are a perfect match.
Tuba Skinny, for me the best traditional Dixieland Band from New Orleans (or from the world ??) with the famous ladies Shaye Cohn and Erika Lewis 👏👏🎺🎺🇩🇪❤️🇺🇸❗️
C'est beau c'est beau j'aime j'adore que se groupe et formidable que j'aimerais vivre dans cette ville et entendre cette musique tous les jours c'est magnifique c'est quasiment une façon de vivre
This version is based on Curly Weaver & Blind Willy McTell's version, which is truly great, but I believe the original was by Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. Georgia Tom Dorsey (who later went by Thomas A Dorsey, and became known as the father of Gospel music) did a song titled "Dark Hour Blues" which is very similar, and maybe had Scrapper Blackwell on guitar as well.
It was in the wee wee midnight hours, long about the break of day, of day, of day It was in the wee midnight hours, long about the break of day, of day, of day Say it's when the blues creep down on you and carry your mind away, away, away Ah blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long Oh blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long You came to me yesterday and stay with me all night long, so long, so long Have your mind been a-rambling back to the days of long ago, ago, ago Have your mind been a-rambling back in the days of long ago, ago, ago Back to the one that you love but you don't see them anymore, no more, no more I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my bended knees I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my knees, my knees I asked the Good Lord above give me back my rider please, lord have mercy on me
I think you're probably right! "Midnight Hour Blues" originally recorded by Leroy Carr & Scrapper Blackwell in 1932, probably written by Blackwell and his sister, Mae Malone. Tuba Skinny's lyrics are closer to the later (1950) McTell/Weaver recording, however.
They love this music and are deeply committed to it; they play for the music & themselves ... but now ten years old, they are making a living doing what they love and have seen much of the world with it. They keep costs way down and they all have groups & gigs outside of Tuba Skinny.
By far my favorite song !! So much love....and pain.Talent abound!!
One person who thumbed down this has no soul. Wish I could thumbs up it a million times.
Listened to it over and over just love it !
They are like a drug!
Fantastic l love them all.
Love that slow mournful.
Greg's voice echoes the forlorn 1930s - remarkable. He's got it.
Urbino237 - i discovered Tuba Skinny 3 weeks ago , now im hooked. And yes, Greg is my favorite now. What a guy !
Greg’s style does remind me of Leon Redbone.
Love this ... hadn't heard it ... Greg and Erica are superb !!
Bob Throne Quite agree!

In this presentation, it's the imperfections that make it perfect, and real.
I love this tune. period
What a wonderful performance !!

In addition to the excellent period playing, the guys all look like they stepped out of the 1930s!
Meilleur que la version de mars 2015 (dans la rue...)
It was in the wee wee midnight hours, long about the break of day, of day, of day
It was in the wee midnight hours, long about the break of day, of day, of day
Say it's when the blues creep down on you and carry your mind away, away, away
Ah blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long
Oh blues why do you worry, why do you stay with me so long, so long, so long
You came to me yesterday and stay with me all night long, so long, so long
Have your mind been a-rambling back to the days of long ago, ago, ago
Have your mind been a-rambling back in the days of long ago, ago, ago
Back to the one that you love but you don't see them anymore, no more, no more
I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my bended knees
I went down to the graveyard fell down on my knees, my knees, my knees
I asked the Good Lord above give me back my rider please, lord have mercy on me
Thank you for lyrics.

I love them but they must be trust fund babies. You can't make any money doing this.
