  • Jessica looked gorgeous with that costume :)

  • Como decimos en México: "Que buena rola!

  • @talyromero muchas gracias!!!!!!!

  • WOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOO TRUE BLOOD!

  • I work for Paul Simon and you don't! Stop hiding in the back. You're so good.

  • Nice and creepy. Never heard of HBO

  • Does anyone know who the drummer was with Simon and Garfunkel in

    New Orleans and I think at the rock and roll Hall of Fame.. This is a great song I think I heard it on some western. Seeing Paul on Tuesday in

    Kentucky front row.

  • its nice, but i wish they would have used kurt's version

  • Who the heck is Jim Oblon? I thought that was the former drummer.

  • Really!? Just glad it's for True Blood and not real life!

  • Why did he change the lyrics?

  • Great vocal, great guitars on a Huddie Ledbetter classic. You got to the heart of a great song on this performance.

  • :))

  • Love True Blood - Song is perfection. 

  • Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no lies.

  • Jessica Hanby is a whore.

  • @FemmeNevrotique

    *Hamby

    And I lovee her : ) She's not a whorrree, she's only been with two people.

  • @LoGaNlogwood Lol, my bad. But anyone with that blatant of a disregard for people's feelings is a WHORE. She used the old "Oh, I'm a vampire, and I can't control myself" excuse. That was a copout. She's a punk.

  • @FemmeNevrotique that's true haha....she's going through her wild phase XD I don't blame her for almost dying a trillion times this season lol. I love True Blood...but I'm soooo done with people ALMOST dying XD

  • One the best renditions of this classic American Folk song I have ever heard. Haunting and soulful.

  • true blood chooses the best music ever! most my ipods made up from songs discovered from the soundtrack! <3

  • I had to get this song! True blood of course<3

  • True Blood done sent me here ya'll

    

  • @FollowersofDamu LOL Same here. Funny how that series can influence people's taste in music. Sounds dark and seductive. Like most of the music on there. JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT. LMAO

  • Just heard this on True Blood last night and I had to find it. I love it. Beautiful!

  • credit to lead belly? I wonder if the creators of trueblood considered using nirvana's cover. hmmm

  • Wow.. all i can think of is that this guy is about to have the best next year EVER because of 30 seconds on widely watched Television show and a really great cover of a very old song. CFobgrats man. If you go to Last fm's page for Jim Oblon theres 7 listeners... check it in two weeks time, trust there will be more.

  • This song is fantastic...it grabbed me during the TB season finale. WOW. I love it!!! SO coool. :) xx

  • Great song. Has a real gripping atmosphere

  • So glad I found this. The only amazing thing that came out of the True Blood finale.

  • @echoerica Ikr, this song was the only thing that interested me lol

  • The best thing to come out of True Blood this season.

  • Great work, Jim!

  • Thank you! love this!

  • Thank you! love this!

  • Mmmm...Jessica

    

  • Deserves a lot more views, great song, wouldn't have found it without true blood sadly enough :)

  • @Xgeno that issad

  • True Blood might be getting a little stale, but tracks like this keeps the series fresh. Thanks Jim :)

  • I also heard this cover song in last night's True Blood Season 4 finale. You guys are right--this scene was very hypnotizing. Here comes this mysterious woman dressed up in red looking like Little Red Riding Hood... and you wonder who it is, and then you find out when she turns around. It's Baby Vamp Jessica! Such a hot hot scene. Jessica is as icy white hot as a woman comes. I scanned back and watched this scene several times. Perfect song for this scene. Genius music track selecting.

  • @ShelterDogs I did the exact same thing. I wonder if the girl who plays Jessica knows she might be the only ginger hot enough to break the stigma, haha. I even paused it and jumped on google to find out who and what this song was!

  • @CodyMB1989 I paused and googled as well!

  • @ShelterDogs great minds think alike :)

  • True Blood.

  • oh gosh true blood introducing alot of cool songs

  • this is an awesome version, very southern gothic and sexy.

  • I don't much care for the show but was in the room when this version of the song came on and have been searching for it since. Thank you!

  • 1944 - Leadbelly version

    Can't link, but on YouTube

  • Nirvana did a version of this. On their unplugged CD, I think.

  • @CHIEFJOCDMS this was Kurt Cobain's last song ever recorded maybe even played. originality a folk song saying "black girl", in NIRVANA's version Kurt sings "my girl" and here his singing "little girl" everything about this song is so beautiful.

  • I'm trying to figure out how I already knew this song before True Blood, I recognized it as soon as I heard it, I love it. It makes my heart hurt.

  • Heard this on True Blood and instantly went on the hunt...Great version!

  • Amazing. More than did it justice.

  • This is so sexy!

  • What a great version...heard it on Trueblood last night and had to search you out...Thanks!!

  • I like his voice!

  • leadbelly done justice!

  • The guitars are awesome, and Jim's serenity vocals complement the music perfectly. When I was watching the scene on True Blood, I immediately started searching for it...

  • 214 views so far. This song is gonna explode soon. Amazing job Jim.

  • I was amazed to learn how many people cover this song, but this version is awesome. Thanks for throwing it up on the tube so quick.

  • Obligatory 'Thumbs of if True Blood brought you here' comment!

  • Great stuff Jim.

  • Great version my favorite by far!

  • Hey Coosenboose, glad you dig it. I'll be touring through the south this fall, playing guitar and drums in Paul Simon's band. Thanks.

  • @JimOblon

    gonna be in East TN?

  • @JimOblon i hope the tour is going well, we werent able to make it to any of the new orleans shows. 2012 going to be a busy year for you? We hope to see you in concert

  • bad ass version! need more music to look up by you and do you ever perform in the south?

  • Haunting % beautiful.. takes nirvana to a new level

  • Heard this on True Blood. I was completely hypnotized.

  • @MsKwitty especially with it playing to jessica running through the woods with her red riding cloak blowing in the wind! beautiful!

  • @vickilicki123 yes, that was a masterful scene to watch with this music.

  • Great Song....
