about

This recording happens to be my very first attempt ever at home recording and engineering on software I'd never used before, although this version has been newly remastered. Besides working blindly while self-recording the 3 layers here—guitar with vocal, melodica, harmony—these were all first takes, no re-do's. So this is as rough and raw as I get, flubs and all. Enjoy the ride—or rather the walk—from E. St. Louis to Memphis! ♥

An abbreviated version of Furry Lewis' East St. Louis Blues as I recall hearing John Hammond perform it on his 1963 eponymous album.

Kathleen Martin Finland

For music fans who think outside the boxy confines of genre labels, find here my original work 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 urge you to click on my production notes/lyrics before or as you push play. ☼♥ ... more
