Rub Alcohol Blues

Yeah, definitely nailed the Woody Guthrie and Billy Bragg feeling. Love it.

My kind of blues,spot on matey,spot on.

Great song. The tune reminds me a bit of "House of the Rising Sun", which can be traced back to the Appalachian area in the early 1900's (Alan Price of the Animals has claimed that the song was originally a sixteenth-century English folk song about a Soho brothel, and that English emigrants took the song to America where it was adapted to its later New Orleans setting.) Cool piece and well done!

Just ducky Mr. Gumbo. I love it!!

From the samples I've been listening too, DB was a monster banjo picker, among other things.

R.I.P Dock!

thanks guys kavin. - there's a good Folkways collection of Boggs' 60s recordings and you can hear a few of his 78rpm sides at the Archive.org

Just goes to show you can't trust some people. Ha! It's a great song with the special Gumbo treatment.

Thanks for resurrecting this tune. Well done. Will have to look up some more of Boggs' work.

Very cool! Love the harp breaks!

Smashing cover! Great harmonies GUUUUMBOOOOO!!!!!
