Level: 2/3
Tuning: Crossnote

Rosa Lee Hill, the daughter of Sid Hemphill (1876-1963), has ties that go way back to earliest formations of what we call blues. The Hill Country sound is possibly the result of her influence more than anyone else as everyone from that region had contact with her in one way or another. "Count The Days Until I'm Gone" is one of the few tunes she recorded and using Crossnote Tuning she's able get the best of both worlds, being licks done out of E position standard tuning, and the open strings of Vestapol Tuning. The tune is centered the lick, in true Hill Country form, and is a great companion piece to Jessie Mae Hemphill's "Standing In The Doorway Crying."
