Was 36-37 C (that's around 97 F) last days over here and everything was melting, including me, clothes, car, house, cat.. ... so I got me a slide, Open D geetar and laid this down very loosely based on my remote memory of Ry Cooder's Feelin' Bad Blues...

Listening instructions - get yourself on the porch with your favorite ice cold drink (unless it is -20 where  you live ) and crank it... or even better - play your own  one

Like it.
Wish I´d melt away due to the heat. Here in germany we have quite a bad, cold and rainy summer (18-20°C). Perhaps I´ll play a "shivering blues".. haha
Very "louisiana-ish". Very sweltry atmosphere. Warms me up a bit.
Sounds a tad distorted, like clipping when recording. Was it inteded?

Heard this several times yesterday and I have to say it totally calls for two thumbs up!...good show!

Thanks for the listening and good words.
Uli there's no clipping in the recording, purely tube amp dynamics, telecaster, slight breakup, metal slide used, that counts for the raw sound and what probably sounds like clipping. I pushed it a bit with a limiter on the master as well.   

 

I can feel the heat radiating from my speakers.
Nice easy feel, perfect for sitting in the glorious sunshine in a hammock.

I like Ry Cooder to.

Thanks for the listening (although, can't really get some of the posts )

@swordfish -  Telecaster + metal slide + slight amp overdrive =(almost) Dobro

EDIT: still sleeping - was a Framus HSS guitar, played it on the middle pickup ...

Just had the wettest and second coldest June ever (on record) here so slightly envious of you.

Great  atmospheric playing. Crying out for some accompaniment but very nice to listen to all the same...
