My daughter used to sing to this when she was about three years old, full out, straight from the heart. She adored this song. This is a GREAT tune. God bless the Johnson Mountain Boys. So spare, so clean, so strong.

I listened to this many times over the years and still sends chills down my spine.. tells it like it is

straight out of the hood and I have always loved this tune and the blue "bluesiness" of it! Music and Mystics see and understand each other in ways the rest of us that are still fighting with each other do not.

What a great sound! I hope and pray someday soon that Tom Adams's hand will heal and he can three finger style again. He is one of the best I have ever heard.; All the rest of the members of this band are super.

Who played the 5-string on this cut? Was it Tom Adams?

My bluegrass group does it's own humble version on the streets, now I know why I like it so well
