Less Old Timey Than Is My Wont

Hey, hey! Mosey on over to Old Timey, Dammit for my latest recording. "Wagon Wheel" is an old Bob Dylan song, but I don't know if he ever actually recorded the thing. I learned it from an Old Crow Medicine Show album.

Note the three-finger banjo picking, as opposed to my usual clawhammer style. Nothing fancy, but I just wasn't able to make my usual playing fit the texture of the song. No one will mistake me for a bluegrass musician anytime soon, but it's nice to know I can hold onto that rolling rythym for a whole song without losing it.

Edit: I've put up a new, slightly improved version of "Wagon Wheel". After a listen the next day, I did some minor remixing. The rythymic failure at the beginning of the instrumental bridge is less obvious now :-)
