A little blues by us. Used the BIAB band with a blues shuffle in the key of E on this, repeats itself over and over. Yeah you may have this tune before, and???? HA, just getting my guitars warmed up with this. Enjoy https://soundcloud.com/cliftondykes/ride-hwy-49

I actually intended to do a cover of Statesboro blues, but, the internet was down, could not get the lyrics, so decided to do an original instead. HA, of course I would not have posted a cover on this site.

Great work - I wouldn't have thought this was your first blues tune at all! It has a great groove, and the way all the instruments play off one another is superb. You definitely nailed the authentic blues vibe here.

Really well done - thanks for sharing smile

Well, I would prefer to hear an original over a cover any day of the week, so, happy you couldn't find those lyrics!

Instead you came up with a good, original blues song.

I love blues, it's my main thing. And you play it very well indeed!

Enjoyed the listen smile

Well that just put me back to the old club days.

That was like a pro jam like the ones done on the stage all rounder defo.

The organ I would have it drop in and out because those guitars are doing just fine most o the time.

Thank You Beastmaster, I may have had a few too many instruments, but, as Phil Spector would say, one more never hurt.
