Come Pick Me Up (Ryan Adams) with Peter Edgren

A plain cover of John Fullbright's talented and bittersweet song. 

Me Wanting You (John Fullbright) - one take only

This song was made famous in Sweden by jazz singer Monica Zetterlund in 1961. The title of the American original from 1930 is Walkin' My Baby Back Home. Music by Fred E. Ahlert. Beppe Wolgers wrote Swedish lyrics. My version is based on the chords from James Taylor's recording from 1997.

I've played this for a while but here's a different take on the song - slower and with another chord progression. 

Från och med du (Oskar Linnros) - one take only

Olle Adolphsons poetiska och sorgliga sång i min version. 

Nu har jag fått den jag vill ha - one take only

Here's an old blues first recorded in 1928. Playing it on my prewar Regal resonator. It's the first time I record this guitar and I think it sounds pretty good with plain fingerpicking. I've seen online videos with Jorma Kaukonen playing this song and this is pretty much an attemt at playing it like he does. :)
