Baby Please Don’t Go
Cigar box guitar takes on Big Bill Broonzy blues classic
This traditional blues and folk song has been a standard for many years, first popularized by Big Bill Broonzy. Recorded here by Scott Atkinson for My Music Styles on a cigar box guitar made by Shane Speal with a Vox amplifier.

Traditional blues song played on electric cigar box guitar by Scott Atkinson
Take This Hammer
Spike Driver Blues
This song lives in both the blues and old-time/bluegrass worlds. This version combines elements of both of those styles, not going too far into either. I play it many different ways and here I give it a pretty spare, country-blues version on the cigar box guitar.
