I believe I can hear him say Ford after he sings Crazy Bout A Mercury.

Dave Watts

how could he cover alan Jackson years earlier?

Steve Moskal

Thanks! Another 4-chord blues I can play on my uke!

Linda Pierce

Can anyone tell me if this is an open tuning? I know the bass D is dropped, but I can't get the same voicings on the runs that The Master does.

Andy Macdonald

The man who taught Seasick Steve guitar, so they say!

great to hear this! Always loved Steve Millar's version, but I prefer the old acoustic blues.

Hello you all! I first heard Mr Douglas on the Cook album which I bought in Honolulu in 1957 or 8. (I lived there at the time....) Spent a lotta time learning many songs on that album. I loved Mercury Blues best, partly 'cause my grampa had a 1941 4-door & I was was supposed to inherit same. (That didn't happen....) I hit the folk scene in Los Angeles in 1961; Dave Lindley (still in high school) was often a sideman in my band. He probably learned Mercury from me? He went on to be famous. I went on to learn music in other languages & to get a degree in general ecology. I did finally met K C Douglas at a folk festival at which we be were appearing. Got to tell him he was one of my idols! He was just like most of us--not an ego-head star, but a down-to-earth man. Mike McClellan

Back in the good ol' days, when you could waltz into a record company, tell them you had a new song, sit down with one acoustic guitar and wake up the next day with a hit record! I want to go back! Anyone know where I can find a flux capacitor?
