    Ive been playing guitar for 52 years, i am in perspective, probably better than the average bear, but i will never be that good. I love to him play and have had the privilege of seeing him live twice, i would love to see him play one more time before he or i leave this world. Definitely one of my favorites that most people have never heard of.

      "Police Dog Blues" is Blind Blake, IIRC; and "Goin' To Brownsville" is a Sleepy John Estes song. Ry has played a bunch of Sleepy John tunes, "Clean Up at Home/Mr Peavey" being my favorite. "Blind Man Messed Up In Tear Gas" is another good ' un. According to Ry, Estes wrote "He Stayed Away Too Long" about the John F Kennedy assassination. Ry typically plays these songs on mandolin, not guitar ---- I've never heard the original versions, but Sleepy John may have played them on mandolin originally. If anyone has more details, please share 'em!

      The woman hides something else, and the dog sure is not a dog. Beware of the dog & hidden senses in blues. It is not a too bad love song, but a politic one. Or: how to avoid with elegance to be hung at the first tree to come, & saying what you feel inside about not being , er, one of this woman kind.

    • @goodun2974

      The original Blind Willie Johnson recording of Dark Was the Night went into deep space on the gold record inside the Voyager spacecraft, along with Chuck Berry's Johnny B. Goode and the music of Beethoven and others. People joke that if aliens ever find the spacecraft and listen to the record, their first message to us would be "Send more Chuck Berry!". Personally, I can't think of anything more appropriate to deep space travel than Dark Was the Night.

    Other slide players use .016 gauge strings on the high E because god forbid the slide should knock against the frets, but with Ry it’s just part of the sound. You can’t get that lightness and sweetness in his tone with super heavy strings. He’s the best.

    Let's listen again to Blind Blake & the hidden sense of the song.( as usual in blues). And yes, nobody never played that tune better than him. The Ry's version on the LP is better than this one. And you really need guts to try to play such an appenrently simple & nice song. Ry tried it. Congrat'

      @Johnny6666 5 месяцев назад

      Genius. That's about the only explanation. There's only one other recorded instance of him playing in Open D ('Down The Country'), but it's clear he was completely comfortable in the tuning - displaying the sheer mastery of the form just as he did in standard tuning.

      Don't follow you there.. About 10 years away from this, Steve Vai was working with Mr. Cooder,.. He came over him one morning, when Mr. Cooder already was in his preparation for the set.. Steve said what met him was so well performed,.. He stood in the entry, and didn't dare to interrupt the session,.. Later he told us that what he had witnessed was such class, - he had to be nr. 1 in his mastery.. Such feel, and touch.. I believed Mr. Vai back then, and to this day, yes!.
