[An8FoldFunky]

Hi Jesse,

Walter is my great uncle, i think you did a great job on this track.

peace,

>>Jesse, ironically :)

[JesseMathews]

@An8FoldFunky Thank you! :)

[12stringsforme]

Now I gotta learn this!!

[JesseMathews]

@12stringsforme Thank you, the Chords are C-F-G-A7-D7 good luck :)

[linguini82]

brilliant, i was listening to lisa ekdahl 's version, and I ended up coming here. Lisa ekdahl singing is more seductive and childish ( in a good way of course )

your voice is mellow , and makes me feel like you are waiting for your lover to return.

awesome cover, keep up the good work.

[JesseMathews]

@linguini82 Thank you appreciate you kind words, I am still waiting :)

[linguini82]

@JesseMathews coming back here and listen it again after a year, it is still beautiful. you have a beautiful soul.  :)

[drago11311]

my favorite, killer song man. love the singing

[JesseMathews]

@drago11311 Thank you man appreciate it! :)

[mybabybluues]

good voice lol

[JesseMathews]

@mybabybluues Thank you! :)

[jonathandavidr]

Jesse, this is a fantastic track, I have never heard it before.

You are my new blues channel, you really have something going on here!

Cheers, Jonathan

[JesseMathews]

Thank you very much Jonathan,

Yea its one of Big bill's lesser known gems, i think from looking at your covers you'll like certain types of blues, maybe not the hard stuff, try to get a hold of Mississippi John Hurt cd's or check him out on YT i think you'll like him a lot Big Bill Broonzy too...its a music like no other, simple and true, pure feeling :).

Cheers,

Jesse.

[tr3borius]

Hey Jesse,

just can't stop listening this beautiful piece of blues. I really love your voice!

Keep on going!

Greetings from Germany.

[JesseMathews]

Thank you very much Appreciate it! :).

Jesse.

[corndawgz88]

Do you have tabs for this?

[JesseMathews]

No sorry mate, i play by ear...

[browniemcgheeggallin]

good job man. real, real nice. good guitar and singing. ive been trying to get good video quality like this what type of camera are you using?

check out my videos sometime, i do blues shit right down this alley

[JesseMathews]

Thanks man :),

The camera i used is an sony camcorder (6 years old), when the digital was still brand new...for the audio i use Rode NT-1 for the vocals and another shure copy SM57 Mic "audio tecnika" for the guitar, then i mixdown in Cubase.

Cheers,

Jesse.

[g0moz]

first time I have heard this song. excellent job on doing this and keeping bill's memory alive by your playing and vocals. well done man .

[JesseMathews]

Thanks man ! :), music is not like it used to be once upon a time...its my pleasure to try and spread these great songs to folks that only know MTV today...and dont know any 'real' music...

Cheers,

Jesse.

[1ArtfulBodger]

What a beautiful, simple and straight forward song. Well sung Man 5*****

[JesseMathews]

Thanks man , much obliged ! :).

Jesse.

[dadaniniel]

i like the guitar

[JesseMathews]

Thanks ! :).

[buniluvr]

Sing those blues! Awesome! Your voice sounds great! 5+*********

cheers

julie

[JesseMathews]

Thanks Julie your very kind ! :)

Take Care,

Jesse.

[chuckuc]

I liked it a lot. It seems like your vocal work has progressed & the guitar has always been excellent.

I really miss seeing the guitar. Can you drop that mic so that it doesn't obscure your left hand? The view angle on Mammock Blues works better for me.

Thanks.

[JesseMathews]

Thanks Man i really appreciate your feedback.

I wanted to test this angle of filming, its tricky to place the mic's in a way that youll have a good sound AND a good filming angle that won't cover my face like in 'hammock blues', dont worry im working on it ;).

Cheers,

Jesse.

[corndawgz88]

Awesome. I know i've said it but your voice....

Have you ever heard Jerry Harmon? Your sound reminds me alot of him.

[JesseMathews]

Thanks my friend :), I never heard of him but ill check him out if i can find a cd or songs that he did and tell you what i think ;).

Cheers,

Jesse.

[Gruftputze]

Thanks a lot for the friend request! You're amazing and I'm not just talking about your looks ;)

[JesseMathews]

your welcome ;) and Thanks ! I really appreciate it ! :).

all the best,

Jesse.

[Bluesmanstrat1]

Great stuff, great tone, great tone, great voivce and great everything. Take care!

[JesseMathews]

Thank you Thank you Thank you & thank you ;)

The guitar tone is coming out of my favorite Martin D-1 its one hell of a guitar i bought it in 2003 and its just getting better everytime i pick it up.

All The Best,

Jesse.

[HanzP]

Hi 'Bluesman' Jesse,

you've got a very good blues voice. Great vocals, but I would have liked it more if I could see you play the guitar, too. ;-((( Nevertheless 5***** from Germany.

Cheers

Hansel

[JesseMathews]

Thanks Hansel I appreciate it !.

Your right but i tried this time a different angle of fliming im still testing whats 'the best' angle to get the guitar and me in, AND the guitar and vocal mic without them covering my face, the Mic of the Cam is pretty bad so im recording it in Cubase AND filming it so i guess ill just have to test and see whats working the best quality wise....

Cheers,

Jesse.

[daddystovepipe]

Great Broonzy influenced version!

[JesseMathews]

Thanks Mr stovepipe ! it really means a lot coming from you :).

Jesse.

[AnchoriteProductions]

Cheers,

Jesse.

[CodyzGuitar]
