Poor Boy - Texas Slide Blues - Ramblin' Thomas

Here's a rather unusual and less known version of this old blues song. Ramblin' Thomas recorded it in 1928. I changed the lyrics (they're more Lemonesque now) and at the end you'll hear the wider known version like Bukka White played it. I'm a half step below DADF#AD.

Here's a brilliant electronic version made by dincert1

Beautiful. Very faithful to the Rambln' Thomas version on Folkways.

Been watching this video for ages now, when I look up blues on youtube, this video has set a watermark for craftsmanship.

Fantastic.
