Double Bass Rhiannon Giddens Video Release Featuring Jason Isbell

#5
That's a fun tune! Gotta listen to it more closely, on better speakers. But I'd love it if you pointed out any spots you think especially fine. I too often find myself just getting caught up in a rolling walk like you lay down, without appreciating the subtleties.

What I especially enjoy is the guitars and vocals are definitely out front, but your bass starting around :30 is what really gets people moving and propels the song. Very present, but not overpowering. Sweet work!

Who are the people in the vid?

For whatever reason, your comment reminded me of this little ditty by a group I've always been fond of!

Let's take a walk with no point, no purpose
Just get outside and go around the block
I'm kinda bored and so are you
Let's go kill an hour or two
Just take a walk with no point, no purpose, ah yeah

Definitely NOT guidance for a bassist! :D

It’s always a joy to just gear up and drive the bus
