As with all Curious Child podcasts, I break down a song, how and why it was written and to whom... and, the stories of my life and others that help to stir up the writing and production of songs like these. River Child was inspired in part, by this strange hybrid instrument I am playing. Made almost entirely out of steel, this dobro-eque guitar conjures up the delta rhythm and blues roots that lie somewhere in my subconscious... laying a foundation for the emotionally charged gospel vocals by my friends in the Rhythm Gospel & Blues Band.
