This is amazing!!!!! One man, one guitar, one amazing song. So much passion and soul in two instruments his guitar and his voice. New music doesn't even come close to touching this.

How can anyone not love this?

The 12 dislikes are most definately people dressed up as gay transvestite muppets that listen to each others opera and country music while taking it right up the sewer pipe as they moan and groan about how pitiful their existance is! How about you dislikers "F" off and stand on the next street corner thank you very much!

@RoyFive some people can't just take that much a blues, they'll end up dizzy and puking, and wake up the next day with a headache

i'm going to chalk up the 12 dislikes to a button pushing error until some one with the cajones comes out and says such in the comments, so they can be better communicated with.

John Fahey did a lovely, less intense version of this song on his great album The Transfiguration of Blind Joe Death. He helped "discover" Bukka White and was true to the older man's vision.
