Here's a sad one by Townes Van Zandt.
A Richard Thompson song about a love gone wrong.
Classic Dylan lyrics. Your strumming adds to the power of this song. Very well done, Joko.My submission this week is a cover from that master story teller, Bob Dylan. It tells the sad story of Hollis Brown...
I think it's the only song I've ever recorded that's essentially just one chord over and over, and I've discovered it's a lot harder than one might think, particularly with maintaining consistent tempo. I'm guessing it's because we use chord changes as measures of beat... I dunno. Walking on two feet is easier than hopping on one.
Here is my first entry. I am crazy busy this week because of work but I will try to do more.
Here's a blast from the past. The theme music from The Beverly Hillbillies, sung by Jerry Scoggins, backed by greats, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs. Flatt and Scruggs released a single and it spent 20 weeks on the Billboard Country singles charts, peaking at #1 for three weeks and #44 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1962.
... "Walking on two feet is easier than hopping on one."
Elsewhere in the thread, someone proposed doing Paradise by the Dashboard Light, and that got me thinking--if I'm going to do a song from that album (pretty much all story songs), why not go for the most overblown Jim Steinman production of all? So here, with all the pomp and operatic overproduction a simple soprano ukulele can muster, I give you Bat Out of Hell.
A bit of Open C slide uke for you all this evening.
I'm not a big fan of rap or hip hop in general, but I do love some of the old school stuff. This was the hardest song I've ever tried to do. Some of these lines are a real mouthful! BEATBOX WARNING!
