I've managed to obtain over 40 of his songs. I have listened to, studied, collected,and played 20's-30's blues almost exclusively for 25 years and I am only 40. Mr Hicks (Barbecue Bob) is one of my favorites, along with Robert Wilkins, Arthur Blake,Lemon Jefferson, Willie Mctell, etc . Nice to see him on You tube. I have for years thought that I was the only Blues fan. As far as I know they only released 1 lp (chocolate to the bone) the rest on compilations and, if you can find the 78's

Crazy the connection between BBQ Bob, Curley Weaver and Buddy Moss... This song's hook is the same as Curley Weaver - NoNo Blues.

There is no time signature this aint classical music dudes, but if you had to figure it out i would say he is playing in a simple 4/4. However he switches between playing on the UP beat and the DOWN beat and also adds and takes away beats based on feeling. Its a messy 4/4 and he sings in a slow 4/4 but strums the guitar as if its 4/8.
Try tapping you foot to it, fast and slow, and you will see that it keeps in time but the emphasis on the UP and DOWN beats change.

BB had a nice easy style that white folks would have loved. He would have been a greatly admired performer had he lived into the 60's and the British inspired blues revival.

@busessuck1 if you can try and look up Yazoo records i have a barbecue bob cd from them
je t'en prie Ziryab ,
oui normalement il devrait y avoir "child" mais dans le titre original c'est "chile"
Barbecue Bob est un des plus grands bluesmans d'avant guerre .
