Re: Christmas Day mandolin blues in Thailand
Special Agent Blues by Sleepy John Estes. The riff for it evolved from listening to the playing of Son Bonds as the 2nd guitar on the track recorded in 1938. I used ideas from that and came up with a signature lick I could use for this song. I love the song and play it at nearly every live performance. Yank Rachell doesn't play on the original track so I worked out a part that I thought reflected a Yank feel but with my own style. Thanks for the video Ron!
