Lightnin' Hopkins - In The Evening - Rock Me Mama Blues

This is just a song slapped together to illustrate lightnin's sound. I played this on a well EQ'ed Squire Telecaster.

Lightnin' Hopkins - Rock Me Mama Blues

The Bluesman

This composition is partly an original composition and partly a sample collage borrowing from Singers Unlimited, Lightnin' Hopkins, Santana, Adele and BB King.

Nobody

This is one of my first recordings from long ago. What makes it unique is that the blues are being played on a 12-string. The inspiration, of course, is Lightnin Hopkins. At the time I recorded this song, I never heard any of his works, so this is more of an interpretation of some TABs that I discovered. My goal here is to portray a live setting at a blues club. Just put in the background noises and the mood will be set. In fact, slugged down a few.

I'm a fourteen year old blues musician out of Arizona. I started playing guitar a year ago, and I've loved nothing more than it since. I greatly appreciate each and every view, and love sharing my gift with people just like you! God Bless!

The world is my stage and I post songs for ALL of you.

Leave comments in your native language. Tell me what sort of music you would like to hear. If there is anything about my music that you like, share that with me. I tend to live in a vacuum and I could use some feedback. Once more, language is not a barrier. 

I am what I am

I am a tabula rasa, a blank slate.
Everything is new to me.
I am a Stranger in a Strange Land. 

Stereophonic home recordings. 
Electronic Experiments + some Rock & Roll.
If you dig any of this, spread the good word, I'm not on social media at all, I'd rather make noise.
Free to download if you can figure it out...
