Lonesome Road Blues - Murphy and Casey Henry chords
Start Jamming...
This is the first five-string bluegrass style banjo tune ever recorded by a woman.
And [F#] that woman was Ronnie Stoneman.
She recorded this song in [G] [B] the album that it was released on, it came out in 1957.
So I'm assuming she recorded it in probably late 1956.
It was for a project Mike Seeger was putting together.
It was called American Banjo [G] Three Finger and Scrug Style.
This is called Montereau Blues and I'll tell you what Mike told me that was behind the recording of this.
Alright, ready Casey?
I'll be Ronnie.

It's always so much fun to play with Casey.
It's just such a pleasure.
And [G] especially when she, I think, would like a really fancy lyric like this [E] one.
Which I worked really hard to learn off of her.
So I do that and Casey makes it [N] even fancier.
