Another brilliant job. Nice work, Stu.

First done by Dock Boggs back in the 20s, it's a great piece of melancholy parafunalia. Eerie to think it's a suicide note and reassuring to know he was still a tough old bird 40 years later.

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!

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

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

Love the sparseness to this. Simple but very effective. This has a classic feel to it. Well done!

A cover of Iron Angel Forge's song from his 2009 RPM Challenge album, Not Forsaken. He is here at alonetone under the name IronAngel. I haven't told him yet, though, so it's a surprise ;~)

Iron Angel is a great grizzly blacksmith man who would probably love that you covered his tune and such a great job you did doing so.
