SCOTT DUNBAR Easy rider

Scott Dunbar: born 1904, son of an ex-slave, on Deer Park between the Mississippi and Lake Mary (an eleven mile cut-off arm of the River) west of Woodville and south of Natchez, Mississippi. He made a guitar out of a "cigar box and a broomstick and some stream wire" when he was eight and played it like a violin. When he was ten he got a real guitar and began teaching himself to play. "My father died," he says, "and then my mother moved to Natchez, and she died. I came on this side of the Lake and I been livin' on this side ever since. Old Lee Baker, he played fiddle, and he came over and said, "C'mere boy, I want to hear you play that guitar," and he brought me over to this side to play with his band

I love this guy... I only know two album of him. I think he only made one, the other is a compilation of various artists. If anyone have some informations about another album, thank you!

And if anyone got the lyrics of "Easy Rider" I'd be happy to catch that!

Thanks for the upload!

Does anyone has "You Don’t Know My Mind" from Scott Dunbar on mp3?

Interesting, he plays the arrangement from Patton's Spoonful, although it goes back further than that...

The Fat Possum Label recorded some real awsome talent, Robert Belfour is a favourite of mine, I'm glad this stuff's made available - I'm gonna check their catalogue for christmas presents (for myself hehe)

My Dad would have Scott come and play at his fish camp at Lake Mary during the 60's , he would play all night long, he would have a hole dug out from under his feet where he had been patting them, and when the guitar strings would break , he would turn it over and tap the back of it, great memories and Stump Hole Whiskey
