  • Just discovered you after searching for Kelly Joe Phelps videos. You're wonderful! Do you have any tour dates coming up? Please consider playing at Space in Evanston, IL. It's a great little music venue. Sits about 250.

  • Gorgeous rendition. You made me cry. Thanks for the post.

  • just love it!!

  • NUNAVUTBREAKER :

    My Grandma was born in 1893. he died in 1978.

    I was there with her when she shook his hand. I was 21 then.

    He said, "I'm pleased to meet you Mam."

    Taj Mahal was hanging around.

    The first time I hear this song on Howard and Roz Larman's radio show I cried. My dear husband said, "Grandma didn't go because she liked the music. She went because she loved you."

    But she DID like the music.

  • u should record her about john hurt when she shook his hand. i hope she is still alive to tell one-of-a-kind story.

    Please, thx

  • this is real, very real. I love playing his 'creole bell', and YES i heard him play his CANDYMAN. man, what more can i say, TOM PAXSON put things together what JOHN HURT liked to play in those days.

    THIS IS WHAT I CALL 'REAL'. PERIOD!

    thx 4 posting.

  • I found this song on a Cd I grabbed by random accident by Doc Watson on the album called sitting here playing the blues.

    I thought the title of the album sounded nice. This song is actually how I found out about legendary Missisippi John Hurt. Of Course I am forever thankful. One day I might be able to play a lacked version of this.

    THANK YOU FOR POSTING - FANTASTIC -

    Have Fun in the SUN.

  • Haha, Spacenurse, I was about to say that you have a very old Grandma!

  • great song! really great job

  • that sure is a great song and a great perfomance. Thanks for posting
