...another singer I discover (yesterday), by chance on YT: Guy Clark, I love the lyrics of this song (in scroll box the lyrics and translation in french), the melody is simple
 and I covered it quite easily with a two acoustic guitars kit ,my Weissenborn (lap steel acoustic) and my brand new bass guitar Precision Bass copy, at 88 euros! which amazes me)

PS in fact it's the cover of a cover  ;), because I heard this song from a tribute of Carson Mc Kee, a young musician, singer of Josh Turner's band
(I) got an ol' blue shirt  And (it) suits me just fine I like the way it feels  So I wear it all the time
I got an old guitar  It won't ever stay in tune  I like the way it sounds  In a dark and empty room

 (I) got an ol' pair of boots  And they fit me just right  I can work all day  And I can dance all night
(I) got an ol' used car And it runs just like a top  I get the feelin' it ain't  Ever gonna stop

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up  ( The) kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall
Stuff that's real, stuff you feel   The kind of stuff you reach for when you fal

I got a pretty good friend  Who's seen me at my worst  He can't tell if I'm a blessing  Or a curse
But he always shows up  When the chips are down  That's the kind of stuff  I like to be around

Stuff that works, stuff that holds up  The kind of stuff you don't hang on the wall
Stuff that's real, stuff you feel  The kind of stuff you reach for when you fall 


I got a woman I love  She's crazy and paints like God  She's got a playground sense of justice
She won't take odds  I got a tattoo with her name  Right through my soul  I think everything she touches
Turns to gold

Stuff that works,(...)

TRADUC

(J'ai) une vieille chemise bleue  Et ça me va très bien.  J'aime ce que ça fait  Alors je le porte tout le temps.
J'ai une vieille guitare Il ne restera jamais au diapason  J'aime la façon dont ça sonne Dans une pièce sombre et vide

(J'ai) une vieille paire de bottes  Et elles me vont parfaitement.  Je peux travailler toute la journée  Et je peux danser toute la nuit
(J'a)i une vieille voiture d'occasion Et il fonctionne comme un top  J'ai l'impression que ce n'est pas  Jamais je n'arrêterai

Chorus
Des trucs qui marchent, des trucs qui tiennent le coup.  Le genre de choses qu'on n'accroche pas au mur.
Des choses réelles, des choses que l'on ressent   Le genre de choses qu'on attrape quand on tombe.

J'ai un assez bon ami Qui m'a vu à mon pire
Il ne peut pas dire si je suis une bénédiction. Ou une malédiction
Mais il se montre toujoursQuand les puces sont en panne
C'est le genre de choses  J'aime être dans le coin

Chorus :
Des trucs qui marchent, des trucs qui tiennent le coup.  Le genre de choses qu'on n'accroche pas au mur
Des choses réelles, des choses que l'on ressent  Le genre de choses qu'on attrape quand on tombe. 

J'ai une femme que j'aime  Elle est folle et peint comme Dieu
Elle a le sens de la justice dans la cour de récréation.  Elle ne prendra pas de risques.
J'ai un tatouage avec son nom En plein dans mon âme
Je pense que tout ce qu'elle touche  Se transforme en or

Chorus 2x

when you want Hook to collaborate (rather in the ballad style) with my dobro or weissenborn in a track ;)

Not a song I am familiar with, but I do love the Weissenborn slide parts. Got a real 'Beggars Banquet' feel to it.

Nice job, JP!
