Vigilante man open G ( Ry Cooder cover)

[persevere4]

Roy Cruz - nicely done great work just like Ry would have done I think Mr. Cruz you have made Mr. Cooder proud to hear your playing in his style I know of Ry’s playing slide and you do him much justice in this cover I have saved to my private playing list a rare honor. Thanks to you

Ooh! Fostex FD4 on top of the fridge there, if I'm not mistaken. Possibly and FD8.

Good job, nice tone.

Great rendition of a great song,I first heard this by Woody, but he and Leadbelly were friends and both excellent songwriters,so they musta swapped some stories,I'm sure. Thanks alot for this, by the way, it's back on by Ry

Song to Woody,by Bob Dylan..."Here's t' Sonny and Cisco and Leadbelly too,and all them good people that travelled with you.Here's to the hearts an' the hands of the men.That come with the dust an' are gone with the wind!"

[rycooderfanclub]

i think it has something to do with copyrights traders or collectors but you're right, it's a shame that they removed it 'cayse it's one of my all time favourites

[rycooderfanclub]

Long time ago i;ve the lyrics in a songbook under the name Huddie Leadbetter but i've never heard him doin this one on a records (i have 4 Leadbelly cd's but I still haven;t found his version .( I've heard and learned the Vigilante man from a Cooder- record )

[OTISCHIEF]

Excellent plaing and singing FIVESTARS! I didnt know Huddie wrote it I always thought it was Woody Guthrie. I have yet to find the recording of huddie doin it.

[sunbeams7]

I first heard this by woodie! so I'm biased, I think it suits his flat nasal mid western voice, not taking anything away from this interpretation, way cool!!
