Preachin the Blues Up jumped the devil - Robert Johnson - National ResoRocket - Ariberto Osio

I think this is for me the most difficult and challenging Robert Johnson delta blues song to play and to sing. I got to keep the timing steady stomping on the upbeats while the slide is fast banging up and down the neck and the voice is singing melodies that are apparently free from the pressing background groove, mixing this technical aspects with the primitive blues feeling that characterizes the original piece.
So, well, this is my attempt of keep all this stuff together without trasform it into a musical mess... ;-)
I would like to thank all the good musicians found here on YT that, through their personal and various interpretations of the incomparable original version of Mr. Johnson, have been for me source of inspiration in studying and playing this incredible song.

Ciao from Ari!


PREACHIN' THE BLUES (Up jumped the devil) Robert Johnson Vestapol -- D No capo

INTRO

Mmmmm mmmmm...
I's up this mornin', I blues walkin' like a man
I's up this mornin', I blues walkin' like a man,
Worried blues, give me your right hand.

And the blues fell mama's child, tore me all upside down
Blues fell mama's child, and it tore me all upside down,
Travel on poor Bob, just can't turn you 'round.

The blues, is a low-down shakin' chill
Mmmmm mmmmm, is a low-down shakin' chill,
You ain't never had 'em I, hope you never will.

Well the blues , is a achin' old heart disease
The blues, is a low-down achin' heart disease,
Like consumption, killing me by degrees.

I can study rain, oh oh drive, oh oh drive my blues
I been studyin' rain and, I'm 'on drive my blues away,
Goin' to the 'stil'ry, stay out there all day.
