04.09.08 You are listening to "Josh Feels Good Tonight" written by Rick Malis, music by Mick Martin and performed/recorded solo by Mick and his ACOUSTIC GUITAR. "COUNTRY BLUES" is the style of music that you are listening to on this recording.
"COUNTRY BLUES" is the earliest form of blues music. It is played on the ACOUSTIC GUITAR using a Fingerpicking technique that includes your thumb, index and second finger. Some "Country Blues" artist used their thumb and index finger only. Listen and watch Rev. Gary Davis play his "country blues" style on YouTube. Listen to Mick Martin's acoustic guitar style on his CD/INSTRUCTIONAL DVD. You can purchase Mick's CD/INSTRUCTIONAL DVD for only $16.85 which includes shipping.
You can download the words to the song here.
Last evening I recorded a song entitled, "Josh Feels Good Tonight". "Josh Feels Good Tonight" is a song written about Josh Gibson, the legendary baseball player (catcher) who played in the baseball Negro Leagues. This song will be replicated on to a CD that will commemorate the 250 year celebration of the "City Of Pittsburgh". The song was written by Rick Malis who is a prolific songwriter and muscian. Please visit Rick's website http://www.sugarbaberecords.com. I recorded the song at Tom Breiding's studio who is also a prolific songwriter and musician.
