The Creation of Authentic Country Blues: A Serendipitous Collaboration

You've got to hear this! I'm putting together a musical lecture about the cigar box guitar, and I needed to find musicians who truly understood authentic old country blues. That's when I met Pete. Pete Linton is an incredible songwriter, and our first jam session was pure magic. He picked up his six-string banjo, I grabbed my cigar box guitar, and what happened next was truly amazing. Pete started writing a song in real-time, inspired by his childhood on a tobacco farm, just a few miles from my homestead. This is authentic country blues born from real-life experience, played on genuine American folk instruments. In this video, you'll hear the very first taste of Pete's new song, featuring his vocals, six-string banjo, and my trusty Cat Tabak cigar box guitar. It's raw, it's real, and it's something special.
