 | My Blackbird is Gone - Jimmy Driftwood song Jimmy's note in the booklet:'My Blackbird Is Gone': I got to thinking about what happened to a young man who was black and just married and they came and got his bride and took her away. I got to thinking about that and I envisioned this fine-looking young black man who was so sad it made you sad to look at him. That sort of thing happened and I don't care if I do live in the South, that's not right. JD. |

 | Tennessee Stud Another great song written by Jimmy Driftwood "back in the day". Some of my favorite recordings are by Doc Watson, Johnny Cash and Eddie Arnold. I think the song got as high as #5 on Eddie's version. A few screw ups (as usual), my pick was sliding out and other lame excuses, also thought I heard someone knock on the wall at one point, but oh well, here it is. Also as stated in other videos, I sound much better when you are drunk! :-) |
