1936. Gift to me from my grandpa. First recorded with it in 1995 for my debut on Blind Pig Records. Been usin' it ever since—toured it across 19 countries and counting. Barcus-Berry thinline for the pick-up; found about those from Chris Whitley one of the times I opened for him. It's my baby.

Analytics are honestly kind of fun. On Apple Music, for example, I have learned the my second-most Shazam'd song of all time is ... "Obituary Writer Blues." Who'd have thought so many folks would want to know the lyrics?

"Unseen Undetected" from my album "The Day Deserved," character-driven band-driven social justice songs written during Orange Reign One, and released in 2021. Sadly, this tune is even more relevant today, in the wake of the awful ICE raids sweeping the States.

You know what IS cool re: Spotify? I can see people listening right now. US, Brazil, France & Canada are top locations for me. Someone in Canada playing “Nehemiah James?” Someone in Brazil on “Setting Sun” or “Song and Dance Man?” Beautiful. Thank you—I see you!

If you've been digging "Ghost Notes," thank you! If you haven't read the companion book yet, you can—of course—get it directly from the website, but if you want to bundle it with some other Amazon purchases, you can get it there as well!

well, i got the right town,
there was always somethin’ goin’ down
between the hootenannys and the hoosegow
took a cold water flat,
brushed off my Bailey brim hat
started tryin’ to make my rent the only way i knew how

I was in between jobs,
short on corn for the cobs
as they say down where the boys are shuckin’
with a bird in the hand,
i took a job with a band
just another dimestore dance to try my luck in

I'm torn about Spotify. Necessary evil, or just evil?

Still, I haven't left. And we're 21 followers away from 1000.

If we hit it, cement mixers full of bitcoin will bring us riches—I will share.

The "only seven zeroes after the decimal point" royalty tier awaits!

Had "Blues in Britain" simply elected to review the new album "Ghost Notes," we would have been elated. That they opted to engage so deeply with the companion book was an exceedingly delightful surprise!
