Sassy Nation version! Sister Savage and Mr Sandbags collaborated on the original of this wonderful heartbreaker of a song. I've been playing it on the guitar the last few days and it always seemed to come out with a grittier tone, so i asked…

I needed a place to host a work in progress where it wouldn't be obvious so you might have found a secret mix!!! So that 4 minute song with the slide guitar that no-one listens to is gone ;-)

My first impression is that the vocals are now too low in the mix. I much preferred mix3a. However, this is the first music I've listened to through this machine and heads so have no basis for comparison. So far I'm just delighted that the technology works.

Final version One of my heroes. Willie McTell was blind from birth and travelled all over the south in the thirties at a time when many people would never go more than 20 miles from their home. Plus nobody sings the blues quite like him…
