About the Songs
34 Days is a rag about losing a lover and the hopeless feeling that
ensues. Outlaw in Dm is about getting in trouble with the law and
moving on. Irish Stout is a celebration of Irish intensity. Do That
Messin’ ‘round is a Blind Blake song about having fun. Jake is a
hokum song about a damn fine dog. Dyin’ Crapshooter’s Blues is
a Blind Willie McTell song with “three different marches of tune”
plus some gypsy violin. Mango Swing is a jug band tune by Peter
Anick (Mango Brothers) that we learned from a Mel Bay book and
gave our touch. Hard Travelin’ is a classic Woody Guthrie folk
song that we like to rock. ’55 is a ragtime tale about small block
Chevys. The End of ‘Ol Johnny is a take on the Rapparee song
“The End of ‘Ol Paddy”, about being really hung over - something
rarely addressed in Irish drinking songs. …finest ingredients is a
guitar instrumental with licks borrowed from some of our favorite
pickers. Your So Fine is a love song for swing dancers. Down at
Danny’s is a blues number about the state of the blues. Trash 23 is
a rock song about all of the garbage on television. New York City
Blues is a moan in the tradition of Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang.
