Regarding the place names, I opined in the annotated lyrics that they are fictional: http://arts.ucsc.edu/gdead/agdl/lazr.html#fictitious. But wonderful and evocative nevertheless! [Read entire topic]

I had a great time arranging it for solo fingerpicked guitar. The intro has a nice chromatic descending chord thing, and at the end of each refrain is a diminished chord whose fingering was a splendid challenge.

(BTW, I owe it ti <zenrose>, wife of <unkljohn>. I was visiting them in NC a few tours ago, and when Beth and I sat down to sing a few songs together, she started playing "Lazy River Road." After that, I couldn't get it out of my head, and now it's a mainstay of my repertoire.) [Read entire topic]

The late performances and studio version had me hoping that the "last album" would be a return to Workingman's form. [Read entire topic]

I love the way it makes me feel. I love the way I can hear it in my head being sung by an old blues guitarist. Or even Satchmo. Plus I got to learn two new chords when I learned how to play it! [Read entire topic]
