nice one ! really enjoyed this version of a great song! Just to let you know it wasnt an original of leadbelly's, it was recorded twice before leadbelly's 1934 version and mentioned in print as early as 1923,or at least thats as i remember reading somewhere :). That said im off to give this version a run through on my guitar! cheers!
2008 Leadbelly Memorial: This year will be Sat., Nov. 8, at Noon, at his grave site in Mooringsport, LA (NW of Shreveport, LA a few miles--there's a map to the site posted online, with some folksy directions added in.) Just wanted you to know...hope to see you there! It would be great for you to play "Midnight Special" there. P.S. If it's rainy, the memorial will be moved inside somewhere--probably in the rec center of the Shiloh Baptist Church on site there, right beside the cemetery.
I love this song. Have learned a lot of this song words by looking up internet after reading your 'about this video section'. My son sings this too but his is CCR version. He was very interested in origin of song makes it more special doesn't it?. You sing and play it beautifully. Do any of your 4 sons sing?? Carol x
It was soooo good. I loved it verry much and it was a new song to me. Even my wife loved it when she heard it through the phone while I listened it at my office lol.*****
Great voice!
