Frankie's Blues - kat330

What this episode covers

[REMASTERED version here: https://soundcloud.com/kat330repost/frankies-blues-remaster ] This is my no-nonsense cover of Dave Van Ronk's "Frankie's Blues" as learned from his "Just Dave Van Ronk" Mercury Records LP of 1964. The song is his take on the tragic lovers of Frankie and Johnny. At about the minute::13 mark, you'll be able to hear the whoosh of a semi truck trundling down our street. Just imagine it's Frankie out in the middle of Main Street tracking down her cheatin' man, Albert. Then a bit later at the 2-minute mark, listen for when an angel gets its wings appropriately enough. That's about it. Hope you enjoy.

Find here and soundcloud.com/kat330/tracks my originals and covers on anything from felons to lovers, arranged for and performed on a variety of instruments, for sounds ranging from sweet to sassy and reedy to brassy; from lofty to lowdown and soulful to hoedown; from serious to silly and urban to hillbilly.I am so grateful you are taking the time to listen to these self-recordings, many of which required an enormous amount of my time and effort to produce. If I also introduce you to a singer-songwriter you never knew, or if something I wrote or recorded brings a smile to your day, well, that's just the sweet icing on my aim-cake!Hope you will seek out the original artists' versions of cover tunes unfamiliar to you and, please, share my sounds with any like-minded listeners. I also urge you to click on individual track titles to read my production notes and lyrics before or as you push play. Some notes a Folk Compilation kat330 Unless noted otherwise, these folk covers (plus an original) are all solely performed, arranged, recorded and produced by me using REAPER software. Our living room is a lousy studio set in a noisy neighborhood, with passing trucks being a particular bane.There are explanatory notes for each upload if you click on the titles, where I include track credits, details about what instruments I'm playing and special recording issues. My only mission here is to make people feel good. Thanks for listening!
