  • Hey Zen, is that a Resinator he's playing?

  • @3006khz I would say definately a resonator maybe played lapstyle. He also used a cowbone for a slide....bone gives a real sweet sound.

  • AWESOME upload ZEN... Thanks!!!

  • @3006khz thanks friend

  • Hi Steve. I see that Joe Holmes was an early 'King of the blues'.What a great example of that vocal style of those years.I think it is derived from street performing,in loud places,in order for the voice to 'carry'.(without amplifiers) Thanks for blues post.

    All the Best, Greg

  • @Gregparkerblues thanks Greg..i agree with your opinion on the loud vocal style
