Dough Roller Blues

well i roll and i tumble and i cried the whole night long. when i arose this morning and i didn't know right from wrong

have you ever woke up and found your dough roller gone? and you ring your hands and cry ooh all day long.

well i told my woman just before brown left the town. don't you let nobody tear your barrelhouse down.

said i afford my own and i begin to walk away. i said that's alright sweet mama your troubles all come someday.

As usual, everything sounded great. Your vocals, in this performance, were eerily authentic, though. Most excellent!

[Bayrum78]

@rbseaver thanks! yeah, I really tried to phrase the vocals similarlarly but my singing tone is a little softer than usual in this one, mostly because the playing required so much focus and i hadn't yet committed the rhythms to muscle memory so that i could really push the vocals. according to joe callicott akers was something of a one trick pony and all his songs do have a very similar style and feel. But Man! what a pony! he was a rhythm dynamo with a vocal and playing style all his own.
