Hello, hope everyone is well. This is my attempt at Children of Children by Jason Isbell from the album ‘Something More Than Free’. This is a great song I enjoy playing that incorporates sus chords. I recorded this at the same time as my last posting (Broken Halo’s) but just haven’t got round to posting it until now.
The song concerns Jason and his sister being born when their parents were only 17 and it seems feeling almost guilty about it. So they were in his view Children of Children (as I understand it). He’s a great songwriter and I love the line “You were riding on your mother’s hip, she was shorter than the corn” so descriptive. He’s also a superb guitar player and I recommend checking out live versions of this for the excellent slide guitar solo. I did not attempt that! strumming and singing steadily is enough challenge for me.
Hope you like it and comments welcome.
