@tytlblues:  Cheers Tom :) I think the tweaks have helped my parts a bit. A small amount of compression and a tiny increase of volume have pushed my parts forward a bit. I didn't want to go too far and spoil your own excellent work


dam...I missed this one. Great guitar, awesome Tone...

@carla-spence-bake: Many thanks Jerry. Kind of you to say :)

My take on Tom Adams (tytlblues) track. Already had some great playing on it, so I hope I haven't pulled the standard down too much :) Enjoy

Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac - Need Your Love So Bad (Cover)

This is one of my favorite Delbert McClinton songs. I usually do this one with the band but I thought I would try an acoustic version. I hope you enjoy it.

Everytime I Roll the Dice

I often think back on my mentors, working out in the fields in the blazing sun, then coming back home and making timeless songs around the kitchen table.

But this is also a song of our times ~ as the gap between the wealthy and the battlers widens day by day.

Workin the Cotton Fields    Chris O © June 2014


You see that man
He’s got something on his mind
See that man
Worries on his mind
Clothes are ragged dirty
Eyes done lost their shine. 

He gets up in the morning before
Rooster cries for day.
Wakes up in the morning,
Rooster ain’t even crowed the day
Comes home in the dark hours
Too tired to even pray
Too tired to even pray

Well there’s bread here on the table, 
Roof above our heads
He puts bread on the table
The children all get fed
But he’s out there workin the Cotton Fields
Worryin.
Out there workin the Cotton Fields
Worryin, hard times ahead.

The Rich are getting richer
While the poor ones scratch for dimes.
And out there in the Cotton Fields
Eyes done lost their shine. 
Out there in the Cotton Fields
Eyes done lost their shine.
Out there in the Cotton Fields
Eyes done lost their shine.

They want us to jump down, turn around
And pick a bale of cotton
Jump down, turn around
And pick a bale of hay.


Workin the Cotton Fields ~ Chris O

Down Where The Drunkards Roll

This is quite a different kind of outing for me. I've always admired the Soundcloud guitar players who play blues to pre-recorded backing tracks and burn them up. Many years ago, I played the blues myself, or tried to. So, around four years ago I thought I'd give the backing track blues thing a try. I decided at the time that the results weren't good enough to post. In fact, I'd forgotten that I'd even done it when I found this on my hard drive. I enjoyed hearing it, and inspired by Bill Boethius' recent original mega-exploded-blues postings (check them out!), I thought I'd share it.

I got the backing track free online, but can't now recall from where.

Bridge To Better Days

Been playing, off and on, for quite a few years. Here is a selection of noodles, ideas, a couple of backing tracks with me playing on top, and a few collaborations. 
Anyone up for a bit of collaboration on line or in person, give me a shout, I'm up for most styles  :)
