Agape Blues Company - Cross Road Blues
The Agape Blues Company is a Christian Blues Band out of the NY/NJ area. We are a ministry team that primarily focuses on men's ministries such as men's shelters, drug rehabilitation, and prisons among many other venues. This show was at the Jericho Road Men's shelter in Patterson, NJ.
This song is a take on the old gospel tune Cross Road Blues by Robert Johnson and influenced by Adam Gussow as you'll here.

Nice work Mike. I like that
Nice work Mike. I like that you start the tune and then the band comes in. On the IV Chord (Bars 5, 6 and 10) you hang on a 3 draw (B)... play it lower, at the 3' (Bb), to match the Bb of that chord (C E G Bb... I'm referencing a C Harmonica, as we always do in our lessons). On your I Chord, try using 4' (for the lick 6+ 6+ 5 6+ 6+ 4' 3 2), it's a great, bluesy note choice. Nice solo. Thank you for submitting.
Keep Up The Good Work!
I hear some of Clapton's version on this one too.
I appreciate what you guys are doing, keep up the Good work.
