"Let Us Get Together Right Down Here"

Don't Tell Jack live at Lexington Common, Lexington, Massachusetts on August 7, 2015

We are Ben Rudnick and Friends. We also have a side project called, Don't Tell Jack, playing country blues in the vein of the Reverend Gary Davis, Hot Tuna and Jorma Kaukonen.

This particular song is one that fits well in both of our worlds. For those keeping score, one of the big differences between this song, and all the songs we play under the Don't Tell Jack banner, feature finger picking the guitar as opposed to playing the guitar with a pick, which is prominent in the Ben Rudnick and Friends repertoire.
