Cover of "Ft. Worth Blues" on the '48 J-50

[bayoubengal1954]

On the long thread describing my odyssey of acquiring a beat up '48 J-50 I had posted a track with some instrumental messing around. On this track I thought it may be interesting to capo up the neck and sing a tune. It's Steve Earle's "Ft. Worth Blues". The strings are getting a bit worn enough to now project that "Gibson" tone (at least to me ). This is just using an early generation Zoom H4 with the internal mics. I don't have any fancy recording equipment!

What a wonderful version of a great tribute to TVZ.

I love your tempo in this Pat. Great guitar, great playing, and sad but beautiful song.

Very nicely done, that sounded great.

 

That guitar sure has got a very nice tone, and I like your vocal delivery on this one; it really fits the mood of the song.

Nice job

It's one I do myself , just love the lyrics .

 

Check out on YouTube Steve Earle playing this and Nancy Griffith can't hold back the tears for Townes . Very moving

Great song, lovely performance, and seriously consider a set of .012-.054 John Pearse Pure Nickel acoustic strings the next time you change them.
