The fact that this song has jumped so many generation gaps is wonderful. its something that needs to be passed like the Olympic torch. this song resonates with a group. I pray for the next keeper of this song. I pray some one keeps it alive.
Kurt cobain wanted to buy leadbellys guitar and look at kurt broke record 6 million for new york unplugged. RIP to these guys and their Legends will live forever....
I play and sing this song as the last song, in my set every night, at the bar I co own here in Mexico. It is a real crowd pleaser because they love Nirvana unplugged album, here. But, I am extremely happy that I found this older version. I think that I’ll start singing it like Leadbelly, from now on, and find more of his songs. New Leadbelly fan here!
