Here is another take of “Straight Ahead Blues,” also known as “New Blues,” which was recorded as part of my Awake Again album project.  While revisiting that project and remixing the album (a playlist of the full album is also available on the ‘index’ page), I came across some alternate takes of a couple of songs that I thought it would be fun to publish; this is one of those songs.  At the time I recorded this song, I was listening to the Clapton Unplugged album quite a bit, and experimenting with various blues ideas.  Hope you enjoy.

Recorded with a Taylor 310ce (Sapele/Spruce, Elixir Polyweb 80/20 Bronze) and a matched stereo pair of Shure KSM141 microphones in Holualoa, Hawai’i 2/15/09.  Music by Nick Borho, all rights reserved.
