Miss You Blues

The interesting thing is that this is arguably the weakest track on the album. You've got to be REALLY good to borrow a tune from the Weavers and add 19 songs of your own making that are all better!

Why did Guy say it's not based on Deep Blue Sea when even the booklet says the opposite?

I don't think it's a weak song....
The intro is very nice and MK's slide guitar fits perfectly to this song.
I haven't heard Deep Blue Sea but a traditionnal song that gets covered is very usual by most artits.
It's not the first time MK covers a song or a theme
- Dark was night cold was the ground : Donegan's Gone intro during GL tour
- Wild Mountain Thyme : A Shot At Glory soundtrack
- The Caroussel Waltz : Tunnel Of Love intro
- The Bonnie Banks O' Loch Lomond : What It Is intro during STP tour

Oh no, I love this song ! A real bluegrass song with a delightful Tim O' Brien playing banjo or mandolin !

I have only heard the snippets, but from those, I really loved "After the Beanstalk" and was a bit underwhelmed by "Miss You Blues"!   :)

Read closely, I didn't say it's "weak". I said: "The weakest on the album". How weak can the weakest song on such a great album be?  ;)

His reply was strange, indeed. It would be ridiculous if he should try an hide the fact, while the booklet states it clearly.

Many of his replies are strange for weeks now, don't you think?

 
I stopped posting at  his forum definitely because I am no masochist... He appeals to me more and more as a bored and unsatisfied muso who has absolutely no interest in talking to "fans", even the Privateering stuff in general seems to be too much for him ... 

He also stated it will be a COMPLETE concert, why stress that out when the download turns out to miss Telegraph Road? See the other thread...

"Bored" I wouldn't say, but it must be frustrating to be a musician and composer yourself, and then all you're ever asked about is someone else ... But he chose that for himself, nobody forced him.

He should've known it would happen. Guy's a great musician but wouldn't have reached this popularity without a star like Mark to drag him into it.
