Tommy Emmanuel records “Another Man Done a Full Go Round”
Tommy explains how he decided to select Roy's song “Another Man Done a Full Go Round” for his latest album Accomplish Two
FJ: What came first, the song or the collaborator?
TE: Usually the collaborator. In the case of Jorma Kaukonen, we did the song, “Another Man Done a Full Go Round,” Jorma did that on one of his albums many years ago. It’s a Roy Book Binder song. I just fell in love with it when I heard it.
I asked him, “Do you think we could have a go at doing that?”
He said, “Sure.”
An Excerpt from Fretboard Journal's interview with Tommy Emmanuel Check out their site https://www.fretboardjournal.com/
“Roy Book Binder has been recording East Coast blues since the '60s, and this new live set may be the best recorded work of his career, proving once again that the blues is an art that rewards the passing years. A student of both Pink Anderson and Gary Davis, Book Binder is one of the few revivalists whose mastery of the elegant East Coast blues style transcends the technical to embrace the form's vision. As always, the program leans heavily on interpretations of classic material from the genre, including tunes by Bayless Rose, Gary Davis, and Willie McTell; also included are bows to country and western pioneer Jimmie Rodgers (He's In The Jailhouse Now) and the Delta's master of double-entendre, Bo Carder (Let's Get Drunk Again).”
