“How can a poor man stand such times and live” by Blind Alfred Reed. I seem to be drawn to depression era music- something about it being “pre-counterculture” just makes the music speak to me- and that spans multiple genres (jazz/blues/country etc). Of course I was introduced to this tune by @rycooderofficial ...looking on Spotify there are a ton of covers- so I guess others feel the same was about this tune! I just came up with this arrangement last night- a couple IG friends hipped me to some guitar players that got me thinking about space..breaking up the fingerstyle pattern- anyway here it is! #blindalfredreed #howcanapoormanstandsuchtimesandlive #rycooder #depressionera #depressioneramusic #slideguitar #slide #blues #thebmorecreatives #thenewsoundofsteel #muleresonator #muleresophonic #resonatorguitar #resophonicguitar #folkmusic #folkguitar #baltimoremusic #baltimorefolkmusic #fingerstyleguitar #fingerstyle #guitarcover #rootsmusic #rootsmusician #guitararrangement #vestapol #baltimorefolkfest #baltimorefolkmusicsociety (at Baltimore, Maryland) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3hNrWpn-eS/?igshid=v7ynnn21gpq5
