St James Infirmary Blues
American Folk
This month we are digging into an old American folk standard, St James Infirmary Blues. This is a haunting melody with only three chords so we can pick it up quickly and dig even deeper into rhythmic variations and some fun alternate voicings for the chords. Check out this version from the Silk Road Ensemble. Rhiannon Giddons is one of my favorite artists with a killer voice. Also check this more ukecentric version from The Quiet American.
