Mark Clark	Lyr Add: Jealous Hearted Me (Carter Family) (12)	RE: Lyr Add: Jealous Hearted Me (Carter Family)	11 Dec 12
Jealous Hearted Me (originally Jealous Hearted Blues) was recorded by Gertrude “Ma” Rainey in 1924 as the B side of Paramount 12252. Richie made reference to Ma Rainey's recording back in 2008. If the Carter Family learned this tune from Leslie Riddle then Riddle probably learned it from the Ma Rainey recording. The Ma Rainey recording may be heard on YouTube. It's interesting how the Carter Family took Ma Rainey's lowdown, draggy blues number and turned it into a spritely squared-off white number. I've always loved both versions of the tune. - Mark
