Thomas Oliver - COCAINE BLUES

My rendition of the trad. song, Cocaine Blues, most commonly credited to Reverend Gary Davis.

Recorded by Troy Kelly at STL Audio, Wellington, NZ, using a Cascade Fathead I microphone on the guitar and a Cascade Vin-Jet on the vocals, both through Buzz Audio preamps. Played on an Amistar Resophonic Style II Wild Roses Tricone guitar.

Filmed by Danny Pemberton.

Am I correct in thinking you're tuned to open A? Must know so I can attempt to figure this amazing arrangement out!

@TheJugHeadHat

The tuning is open D7 (D-A-C-F#-A-D). I haven't seen anyone use this before, but I'm sure some do, as it's wicked for getting that dominant sound. Cheers.

You sound fantastic, man. The performance is solid and this is a solid example of why everyone should have some Fatheads.
