2 Roberts

Hey Ya'll.

Below is my sketch for Bob's "Tombstone Blues", painting should be done early next week, round 'bout at 50% mark...Mostly finished background, done 'round 20 odd hrs so far...

"The sun's not yellow it's Chicken..."

 I'll post up the final next week.

Next one up is Robert Johnson's "Hellhound On My Trail" it came down to this song or "Stop Breaking Down"...

Here's a Robert Crumb tribute to the same song...

HELLHOUND ON MY TRAIL

By Robert Johnson

I got to keep moving, I got to keep moving
Blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
Mmm, blues falling down like hail, blues falling down like hail
And the day keeps on remindin' me, there's a hellhound on my trail
Hellhound on my trail, hellhound on my trail

If today was Christmas eve, if today was Christmas eve
And tomorrow was Christmas day
If today was Christmas eve and tomorrow was Christmas day
All I would need is my little sweet rider
Just to pass the time away, to pass the time away

You sprinkled hot foot powder, mmm, around my door
All around my door
You sprinkled hot foot powder, all around your daddy's door
It keeps me with ramblin' mind rider
Every old place I go, every old place I go

I can tell the wind is risin', the leaves tremblin' on the tree
Tremblin' on the tree
I can tell the wind is risin', leaves tremblin' on the tree
All I need is my little sweet woman
And to keep my company, hey, hey, hey, hey, my company

Hopefully if I have some more time next week I'll detail a little more on my inspiration for the series...Words jest ain't my specialty...
