Reso Hangout Top 20 Jazz/blues Songs

This is an old gypsy jazz tune I recorded with my band the Beau Jangles.

Here's my go.

My cover version of Robert Johnson's 'Sweet Home Chicago'. Played on a Hot Rod Rat Rod tricone squareneck guitar. Open E tuning. Disclaimer: I don't own anything related to the brand Hot Rod. I don't own anything related to Robert Johnson.

Lap slide blues improvisation in E (open E tuning) on an unknown guitar that's over 60 years old. There's no brand or serial number on it. The only thing I know is that my grandfather bought it over 60 years ago.

Here's a finished version of a song we started many months ago. Enjoy! Learn more about the band: www.facebook.com/BlueMountainStone

Very Bluesy version done with Dobro, Banjo and Guitar. By Gary Shipley and Rich McCready.

A composition about beginning friendships. The title translates to something like "Ways inside of you" and wants to express the notion of the joy of travelling through other people's inner worlds.

An interpretation of a blues classic, based on Ry Cooder's recording which was the one I first heared before I stumbled across the original...

A composition about how you feel when someone actually cursed you. And I am not talking about magical witchcraft, but the modern day version of this. Something along the lines of "Boy, you must never the sell the house!" or "You will never get a job around here again!"

Written in 1926. Became a standard, Recorded by many top singers in the past.
