Spanish Fandango originally from his album "Back Home in Sulphur Springs" A great collection.
Avatar ♥ Sat. 8/31/13 6:19am beavoux:

Blind Blake mostly fingerpicked ragtime not much slide that as far as I know. That was Blind Lemon Jefferson.
Avatar ♥ Sat. 8/31/13 6:20am beavoux:

Best slide player alive. Says Clapton

Real bones playing on that Blake tune.

A Fill-in !
...Always glad to be exposed to some more Sonny Landreth. I think of him as like the Jeff Beck of slide (somebody said that to me I'm sure) - in that it comes down to his touch & what he's doing is kinda mysterious !...
Avatar ♥ Sat. 8/31/13 6:39am beavoux:

I saw Fahey in small club in Pasadena in 1981 the small audience kept bringing beers up to him and he was quite inebriated by the end of the evening.

Hey, this some song here by Butch Hancock and Mae Lacouture. Great lyrics and a tune Dylan could have written in one of his eras.

@SmokinJ, whats a good album to get?
Avatar Sat. 8/31/13 8:36am SmokinJ:

They're all pretty good. I like his earlier stuff: 1964: Just Dave Van Ronk
1966: No Dirty Names
1967: Dave Van Ronk and the Hudson Dusters
Avatar Sat. 8/31/13 8:39am SmokinJ:

I had the opportunity to see him in 2002. He played solo and was greeting people and selling his own CD's at the door. Fantastic guitar player! People forget that. Two months later he was dead. :(
  Sat. 8/31/13 8:49am Stuart Rose:

Van Ronk was kind of the Alexis Korner of the Village folk scene.
poor guy bat himself up with drink.
  Sat. 8/31/13 8:51am Stuart Rose:

Yikes! I meant "beat" himself up with drink.
Avatar Sat. 8/31/13 8:52am SmokinJ:

Kind, gentle man.. If only our vices were equally kind.
