I learned how to play guitar and write songs by listening to old blues, country and folk recordings. These are the first songs I learned how to play. I've also included some newer recordings of my favorite songs from more recent influences such as Leadbelly, Townes Van Zandt and The Carter Family. This is a 16-song digital album of unreleased covers available for FREE download through 2shared.com. Click the "Buy" button to download.
