This is a great original blues song Matt. Nice vocalizations as well, gives it an auhtentic sound. Super lyrics as well. I'm adding this one to the "original blues" list on the Songwriters Collection Channel....5* from me...Kathy
Guitar here is formidable. Check out "Walking Blues" by Rory Gallagher. Your vocals are potentially excellent doing blues, if ever you do a blues cover, Rory Gallagher's "Out on the Western Plain" would be well suited to your voice.
Oh, so this isn't about the movie with Ralph Machio in it?
just kidding.
Nice one, Matt. Too often artists get comfortable within a narrow range, limiting their creative bounds. It is always a treat to find someone like you who clearly isn't so.
Riding a share for my 3rd view of this great song and performance. "I won't be here too long"...and he wasn't. Robert Johnson became the stuff of legend, didn't he?....You can almost picture him in this tune...great, just great...
Your preachin to the choir,,,,I live in mississippi,,,,been to the delta many times,,,,I have seen too many legends their to list,,,,its an amazin place if you love blues and living historians,,,,,you sounded great,,,,if you havent been there start in clarksdale........I love the blues and use a lot of 1, 4 ,5 in my songs.......
This is really nice man! i can imagine this song with a full set of instruments...it'd sound huge, at least it does in my mind :D Thanks for sharing this with us!
Matt, you have just the right "raw" sound for this. Might tune up a spare guitar to practise. I tried once years ago but only had one guitar at the time which I was using in school.- got fed up of retuneing.
Your voice is so gravely and is perfect for this. Love the slide mate, it is awesome. Great info too. He must have been some man. This is an outstanding prophetic song, class.
What a departure for you...so different from everything else I have heard from you thus far! Wow, if you had not put the words "original song" up as part of your title, I would not have known that it wasn't Robert's, himself!
And your vocal delivery is just so great, just right on target with that world-weary sound.
I guess you know you're making me think of the movie "Crossroads" with Ralph Macchio, don't you? haha
This is so great, Matt. Congrats on another excellent tune.
Enjoyed your tune.
