One Horse Town

Fri, 4 Aug 2023 17:23:00 CST

A best effort at banjo-rhythm to: One Horse Town by Blackberry Smoke. This has been a favorite song ever since I first heard it on YouTube a couple years ago. Backing track used (Thanx YouTube): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOUT9B9VHAU Sorry for playing the strings so hard, as I had to compensate for a bad mix in my monitor-phones. I almost broke a string playing so slow.

As far as I know, T.A.R.L.N. is a sweet-sad, happy ending gospelsong written and recorded by the Louvin bros. in 1959. This is my clawhammerstyle banjo interpretation of this beautiful song.

New River Train (TOTW)

JanetB — Mon, 12 Feb 2018 12:37:00 CST

For the old-time Tune of the Week, 2/2/18, this is the Rough & Ready Fruit Jar Pickers sing-along version. Lots of people singing, lots of instruments, countrified style. My solo is minimal, heard after the electric guitar after the first verse. The FJPers disbanded last June. I played every Sunday with this rollicking group for 14 years. We always had an audience with songbooks who flipped through the book as our leader, Everette Burkhard, called out each song number. From gospel songs to old-time to country, we made lots of music over the years, sometimes sounding great, sometimes pretty awful. But it was always about being with friends and having fun together at the Rough and Ready Opry Palace and later at the Grange when they tore down the palace and put up a beautiful fire station.

jem589 — Mon, 21 Dec 2015 08:28:00 CST

I always give things clever titles whose provenance I forget later. Maybe I had a cold? I know I was trying to do something that sounded like a cheerful 50's guitar-led country song. Banjo starts at :35 if you can't bear to hear electric guitar.

gospelman97 — Thu, 6 Aug 2015 16:30:00 CST

Here's an old Merle Haggard song that I have recently fell in love with. To me, it has to be one of the top 10 country songs I have ever heard. Listen to the words. You don't hear things like this on today's country radio for sure. I hope that you enjoy!

Diggin' Up Bones

gospelman97 — Wed, 5 Aug 2015 17:22:00 CST

WITHIN THESE HANDS

dslaughter49 — Tue, 28 Apr 2015 06:44:00 CST

This one is a demo that I did in Nashville. I don't know who wrote it but I thought it could have been a hit. I had a 102 degree fever and was sick as a dog when I sang this demo. The band I am pretty sure is Whispering Bill Anderson`s band. This was done around 1997 when I was still trying to make it in Country music..I went by Devin Douglas and this was on a compilation CD with other songwriters/singers
