I went to the Crossroads......

trag-o-caster · May 19th, 2008, 03:52 PM

... yeah, yeah, I know... EVERYBODY's done "Crossroads". That's why I decided to try the old acoustic slide version, closer to Robert Johnson's original than the Cream version.

I'm not known for either my acoustic playing OR my slide playing, so I'm very happy to have this on my MySpace page to give listeners a glimpse of the stuff that I rarely get to do in public.

Just click on my name down below for the link.

Hope ya like!

Wow! Very nice.

BritishBluesBoy · May 19th, 2008, 04:09 PM

Nice job there fella...

Cool.

RotelliCaster · May 19th, 2008, 04:12 PM

I dig it!

roadkillbill · May 19th, 2008, 04:46 PM

Wow is right.. You nailed it, and you really got the voice for it...'Everyday I have the blues' ain't too shabby either, btw!

Big Tony · May 19th, 2008, 06:22 PM

I like!

Your singing is strong.

If I may deliver some constructive criticism: a little less reverb/room on the guitar would make your fine playing stand out more. Make it dryer = get more punch!

Great singing & playing!

Very nice Tim!

An interesting interpretation of a great song never gets tiring.

Spidercaster · May 19th, 2008, 07:41 PM

I now agree with you about the 'verb, although I thought it was cool at the time I mixed it down. This is a very dead room, so I do need a pinch, but that was just a pinch too much.

Thanks to all! I really appreciate your kind words. I don't get much encouragement around these parts. The only encouragement that I get around here is to "Play more hip hop", or "Play some Slayer".

Old Cane · May 22nd, 2008, 06:39 PM

Now we're talkin'. Really dig your stuff.

trag-o-caster · May 22nd, 2008, 10:47 PM

Hey Otis it's YOU!

Everybody check out Otis' "Chicken Strut". THAT's the stuff man!

Thanks for the kinds words!

lilhatchet · May 23rd, 2008, 07:25 AM

Everything on your page sounds awesome keep it up.

Old Cane · May 23rd, 2008, 11:43 AM

Thanks, trag. Maybe one day I'll get some keeper tracks to post. We're coming up to fish next year but will be on the other side if the state from you. Maybe you'll be playing over there and I can come see you. Good stuff.

fezz parka · May 23rd, 2008, 01:26 PM

Hell yeah!

mwaym · June 13th, 2008, 03:03 AM

Awesome stuff. I listened to all the tracks. Not a bad one in the bunch !!!!

BillyC · June 13th, 2008, 03:34 AM

I like it.

garytelecastor · June 13th, 2008, 03:48 AM

Tim-That was fantastic. I don't know where you got the idea that you can't play slide. I can hear the Duane Allman influence and the Elmore James thing.
Great vocals and vibe.

Darcy Hoover · June 16th, 2008, 03:57 PM

Loved it....all your stuff!

Talmir · June 18th, 2008, 07:37 PM

Great interpretation :) Good relaxed performance

Flat357 · June 18th, 2008, 08:12 PM

Good stuff Timothy .

Colt W. Knight · June 18th, 2008, 08:24 PM
