Robert Johnson – Come On In My Kitchen (Baron Version)

I couldn’t let Robert Johnson week pass without covering the Baron’s version of Come On In My Kitchen. It is a fairly standard I – IV – V progression in A (A – D7 – A – E7), so I thought I’d focus on the twiddly bits.

Here’s the intro with two typical Johnson-style descending phrases.

The A-Asus4-A crops up in the chord sections as well. As does a similar move from D7 (2223) to D (2225) and back.

And here’s the bit that doubles the vocal line in the “You better come on…” section.

    i’m really hoping you’ll end robert johnson week with hot tamales by UOGB

    Hot Tamales was the first song I learnt, after seeing it in Woody’s Blues book.

    Catchy, especially the way he sings it, I like it.

    I love it. Looks so simple as it’s played but the roadmap on tab looks completely perplexing. Masterful blues work. Thanks for another test.

    cbf and byjimini: It will be Hot Tamales. But not the UOGB version, I’m afraid.

    Joe: He does an excellent job of it.

    Jeff: Good luck with it?

    Hey! Thanks for tabbing this! Some people have asked me for tabs, but I’m really lousy with that stuff.

    Thanks for a great site too, and for pushing my vid. I’m honored!

    Cheers

    Josh: It’s one hell of collection. When I first got it, I became a little obsessed with it. But back then it was tapes rather than CDs.

    Baron: Thanks for putting the video up. It’s an excellent version.

Got something to say?
