One string, one ache, and a sun-soaked porch. Country blues doesn't need anything else to break you in two.

Sample excerpt
Bank took the tractor and the neighbor took the rest, I signed the papers standing in the field. Ain't no song gonna put that soil back in my name, but a song don't cost me nothing to sing.
So I sit here on the tailgate with this old guitar, telling it the things I won't tell anyone. It don't fix a thing, it don't pretend to, it just keeps me company till dark.
Workshop note — First person, past into present, weathered. Country blues follows the call-and-response of voice and guitar: leave the second half of each bar empty. At 82 BPM use plain nouns and no adjectives.
