Thanks! It took a while to come up to a sound that complemented the rough guitar.

Very cool stuff per usual, Jim! Love that guitar and those vox/ choppiness are just right

This is so cool Jim. The blues-ish-ness that's just not quite blues really does it for me. And the vocals, when they come in, are just so perfect.

Gorgeous piece assembled from great sources.  Extremely cool cubist take on the Lomax archive!

Major praise coming from you -- thanks!

Thanks, Vince. As long as the government doesn't take notice ::-)

Cubist -- yeah, I guess it is. Thanks!

No Alt-j in my playlists, but some C2C -- I agree;  but mainly I was thinking of Akufen's "The World Wanna Know."

I caught the blues feel as it went on but the beginning sort of had a "world music" kind of vibe to me oddly enough.  The choppiness mixed with the vintage sounding recording also creates a cool disorienting feeling.

Thank you! Blues would probably qualify as a variety of world music, considering all the elements that went into it.

Brilliant track, love how it's removed from, but still relates to the tradition of the source material.

Love the feel of the track. The traditional sound of the slide guitar chopped up with the synth and vocals really create someting fresh.
