Hi Chris

Yup I have Odea doing that on the prison Worksongs put out by Arhoolie. I couldn't possibly do it justice & the spiritual side of singing doesn't grab me like the physical. There are some great versions on that LP & their contrast to some of the Texas & Mississippi prison recordings of similar versions are very interesting. We do a similar version of "Berta".

Let's see your Cook's song, new sea songs & shanties are great to see & hear.
