day 344: In My Time Of Dyin’

In My Time Of Dyin’, by Bob Dylan.

This song was super fun to play, another one of these Dylan blues translations in an open tuning, with a capo, and an optional slide (rehearsed with it a little but didn’t use it when I recorded.)

So it’s a traditional, maybe attributable to Blind Willie Johnson, but if you don’t know the Dylan version, you might know the Zeppelin version, and just mayyyyyyybe you know it from its appearance/interpolation in one of the Spacemen 3 songs I did earlier in this project.

Did I have to open the door to try and let the barking dog know where I was, and that I was the source of the offensive noise she was barking at? Yes. Yes, I did.
