Here are my Badly Recorded Blues. I do the best I can with 'em, using all the technical skills that I have accumulated, which ain't a lot. Some come out better than others but they're all real stuff with no retakes and no overdubs. If you're new to blues music, I'd suggest you search out these songs and listen to them the way the original guys recorded them thirty, forty or fifty years ago. They still hold up well no matter how old they get. Window Media Player (free download) works good to open them, but I think almost any of the players will do the job. I'm not selling anything here, so don't worry about that and you won't be carried off to some mp3 site. They're just some Badly Recorded songs to listen to, that's all.

Click one, they ain't pretty, but they're fairly unique.
