This guy is the best. There's something kind of fascinating about the way he uses the low notes on the guitar... and the recording quality is flawless. Download away! Frank Hutchinson! WolfieLupo 2008-03-08 05:08:04 2008-03-08 05:08:04 5 I am so very happy to vent here about my years of trying to emulate Frank Hutchison.. To most I am really rollin along.. WOW but to a musician familiar to Hutchisons bass line, finger style and slide, such as sometimes running a tad early sometimes a tad late with his low end which creates this controlled chaos of virtuoso playing. Once upon a time I was rather smug about my chops, got Robert Johnson down with the help of John Hammond, (I mean acceptable0 Jon Lee Hookers early electric, Robert Nighthawk, Jessie mae Hemphill, fred McDowell.. on and on.. then of all things two white dude, Hutchinson and Mike Bloomfield caught my attention (Bloomfield solo) so now after running thru my gig catalog, I do the Hutchinson deal... mind you, I'm not trying to even sound like him, just trying to catch that frantic yet casual style, no I'm a B-, if I live to be 100 maybe that will improve to a B, thanks for reading this, I feel a little better for expressing my efforts, one thing is for sure, listening to him playing, sometimes a humorous feeling within, sometimes he's off to the races, well its all good except the record company driving him away because they insisted he play only country, he opened a hardware store I think in the mid west and died fairly young.. about 10 more albums would have been a gift, in my opinion, Hutchinson, John Hammond and sometimes a solo Mike Bloomfield catch that intangible sound of the old blues. Frank hutchison .. unattainable chops? R.L.Burnside 2008-03-18 22:56:45 2008-03-18 22:56:45 5 The name is Hutchison, no n before the s please. The story goes that his store burned down and he became depressed and went to the bottle. "Just gettin' right on good red liquor" he says in this song. He died, probably of cirrhosis, before he was fifty. Fine slide guitar with eccentric rhythm. the name is . . . johnorford 2008-10-16 02:59:28 2008-10-16 02:59:28 5 I was looking for solice STILL attempting K.C. Blues (how many years now?) I relate so much, so i won't bother repeating. I knew John Hammond when he toured with JLH.. greatest guy and plays black. I slow down K.C. Blues about 60 % or more and there is so much happening and as you pointed out, tempo changes in odd places, I been doing some banjo and I wouldn't be surprised if he grew up around banjo, if that helps, he's got some eccentric "banjo rolls" going on while he's thumb plunking out the base line while he's plunken out the base line ahead of the last banjo rolls. Almost as if he's out of control but all facets of this tune are perfect I relate Othar Turner 2009-02-09 21:49:57 2009-02-09 21:48:45 5 4 5.00
