Joe Hickerson does a credible "interpreter's" job on this song, and it was fun to sing along with him, but I would urge all of you to get the Library of Congress Field Recordings CD from Rounder and listen to the original. It is truly one of the greatest traditional performances ever recorded! Stephen Wade did an excellent job in selecting the material included on this disc. You'll also hear Texas Gladden singing her "Bad Girl's Lament" and Vera Hall singing "Another Man Done Gone." Glorious!
