No, it's not a death metal version...this time. I record all my music under the stage name of Hopalong Ginsberg. These days that's probably a microagression. For a free MP3 download of "St James Infirmary Blues" click either here or here.

Here's Five more Wills classics. These songs are a bit naughty with a mention of shooting women, doing coke, a hot girlfriend, and a guy having trouble with his oozler. These are all from the late 30s, and I did what I could for the sound. The songs in order are: Oozlin' Daddy Blues, She's Killing Me, I'm A Ding Dong Daddy From Dumas, Red Hot Gal Of Mine, and the Empty Bed Blues..

This song was written in recorded by Jimmie Rodgers. He recorded it in Los Angeles in 1930. Six years later Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys did their version. Tommy Duncan could really yodel. He was asked to yodel on the 1960 Liberty sessions, but he stated he could no longer do it because he couldn't hear himself. They offered him headphones, but he declined. So here's the father of country music with the father of Western Swing...with a nod to Milton Brown. They started it together as the Light Crust Doughboys. Milton was a vocalist and leader. Bob was...

There are three songs here. I call it Bob's version of Jimmie Rodgers style. Swing Blues was recorded in two parts. Part 1 was the flip side of Steel Guitar Rag, and Part 2 was on the flip of Back Home In Indiana. Here I have edited the two parts together into one complete song. This is followed by Merle Haggard's version, which he calls "Stingaree" from a line in the song. This is wide stereo.

Moonshine Jamboree (1993) / Ace Records UK "The "king of the hillbilly piano players" shows up at his best on these 23 tracks, cut during his prime years, 1946 through 1954, when he was associated principally with King Records. It's easy to hear the roots of Jerry Lee Lewis's (as well as elements of Carl Perkins') sound in early cuts like "Cherokee Boogie", on which Moon Mullican and his band find room for a rippling, pounding performance on piano as well as a short, hot guitar solo around a jaunty, funny honky tonk core, and most of the rest of...

In case you missed it, B.B. King, one of the best of the original Blues players ever, passed on. Of course, when we walk down the road into the fever swamps of Leftism, in this case, the always unhinged and insane Salon, we get B.B. King and our blatant racial revisionism: The South still denies the roots of “America’s music” Southern states celebrating “America’s music” should remember the direct line between our original sin & the blues We all have to go sometime. And hopefully, B. B. King was able to reflect in his twilight years that he had lived...

America has lost a national treasure: B. B. King, whose world-weary voice and wailing guitar lifted him from the cotton fields of Mississippi to a global stage and the apex of American blues, died Thursday in Las Vegas. He was 89. Mr. King married country blues to big-city rhythms and created a sound instantly recognizable to millions: a stinging guitar with a shimmering vibrato, notes that coiled and leapt like an animal, and a voice that groaned and bent with the weight of lust, longing and lost love. “I wanted to connect my guitar to human emotions,” Mr. King said...
