Confessions of a Glorified Sideman

As many of you know, I played har­mon­ica on the orig­i­nal Eury­th­mics hit Mis­sion­ary Man (read my post about Meet­ing Eury­th­mics).

Besides the per­sis­tent nag­ging for years by a good buddy of mine to do my own ver­sion of the song, I must admit see­ing Annie Lennox and Dave Stew­art doing a stripped down acoustic ver­sion on an old You Tube video inspired me. It allowed me to see the pos­si­bil­i­ties of doing a Delta Blues take on it. We orig­i­nally meant for it to be acoustic dobro and harp but one thing led to another and… well, ya know… now it’s got drums and bass.

Lis­ten to it here. Play it LOUD.

I hope you enjoy it and you pur­chase it on iTunes.
