Caleb Stine is someone that is no stranger to Slowcoustic and has a history of bringing excellent folk/country/bluegrass songs to light. This specific track below is considered “traditional” and I am not sure who it is officially credited to, but Caleb gives ’em a run for their money.
The song, ‘Red Rocking Chair’, is going to be part of an upcoming album of both Woody Guthrie and Traditional songs entitled “The Songs of Woody and Cisco” which in itself is connected to the current off Broadway production that Caleb is part of! The production is appropriately called ‘Woody Guthrie Dreams’ and takes place in the last challenging moments of Guthrie’s life. You can find more information on it here and check a promo shot below.
And now, how about that song?
Please enjoy the track, its a good one. For other great tracks from Caleb – take a look at two previous posts here and here.

[…] Slowcoustic just posted Caleb Stine singing the traditional tune ‘Red Rocking Chair’. Mournful and reflective, the recording features the banjo playing of Washington D.C. based John Bolten. […]
Caleb: Geoff B. (your Dad and Mom’s friend ) will be in Baltimore on 10/5. Will you be playing anywhere in the area?
Really like this song. Traditional folk songs can be so great when the right performer does them, and Stine does this one really well. Tallest Man on Earth does a couple killer renditions of the traditional songs “Moonshiner” and “Stepstone.” Here’s a link to a great video of him doing “Stepstone” in Australia in case anyone’s interested: http://vimeo.com/2248096

Saw the amazing play “Woody Guthrie Dreams” in NYC September 2011 and loved everything about it from the script to the acting to the music. Also bought the CD. One of my favourite songs is Red Rocking Chair. I’m trying to play this on the ukelele but can’t find the uke tabs or chords anywhere. If you can let me know the guitar chords and I can translate them for the uke.
