Summary: Norman for Everyone
Review: This book is very accessible.For each tune presented, it gives first the guitar chords and melody (including a TAB rendition of the melody), then the complete lyrics, then the guitar TAB. This allows you to play the song at any level of complexity you like, up to Norman's own, without requiring of you the ability to read standard musical notation. The spiral binding allows the book to lie flat when open, making it physically very easy to use. Throughout there are photos of Norman, Nancy and friends, making the book an aesthetic delight. The pieces transcribed include a selection from throughout Blake's career, and both songs and instrumental pieces. They are: '76 Blues (+2); Back in Yonder's World; Billy Grey; Blake's Railroad Blues; Charlie Gaither; Chattanooga Rag; Chattanooga Sugar Babe; Church Street Blues; Crossing No. 9; Down At Milo's House; Ginsing Sullivan; Green Light On The Southern; Greycoat Soldiers; The Highland Light; In The Spring Of The Year; Jimmy, John and James; Lincoln's Funeral Train (The Sad Journey To Springfield); Lonesome Jenny; Macon Rag; My Old Home On The Green Mountain Side; Ol' Bill Miner (The Gentleman Bandit); Old Ghost's Cry; Old Time Farmer; On And On And On; Paramount Rag; The Railroad Days; Randall Collins; Ridge Road Gravel; Savannah Rag; Slow Train Through Georgia; Southern Railroad Blues; Uncle Sam; The Weathered Old Caboose Behind The Train; We're Living In The Future; Whiskey Deaf and Whiskey Blind; Last Train From Poor Valley; Uncle; Tin Foil And Stone. Enjoy.
