@UtzChips2009 True.But no other musician of Keith's status has done or said more to bring attention to the originators,from Hurt to Muddy Waters,Little Richard,Chuck Berry.His respect is heartfelt and sincere.He has done his best to give back.Few others have.
@UtzChips2009 and you dont believe creating a sound like that again is good talent? But it is. But the original is allways the amazing one.. i could totally lay back to this and enjoy it like any other old blues song. peace
@dennosos Actually mate this is Keith Richards. It is taken from the Stones' album Voodoo Brew which came out in 93 or 94 which has two differnet versions on it. Yes, John Hurt recorded a version of this, but so did Luke Jordan, Reverend Gary Davis, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan and countless other folk musicians over the years.
@mynewjamsandwich They do intertwine as the decades go by, but you are talking about 2 distinctly different songs here AND Mississippi John Hurt never did a version of either. This Keith Richards take, which surprised me with its goodness, is the Reverend Gary Davis version. He tells the story of picking it up just by overhearing a man sing it at county fair in 1915. The other version is a murder ballad celebrating bad behavior most notably done by Merle Travis and Johnny Cash.
