Thank-you very much for the positive feed-back about this video, AND about the song I used. The first time I heard this song was sitting in the movie theatre during the opening sequence to "The General's Daughter". The mix of this song and the large opening shot made me never forget this haunting music. Recently I have learnt that some other musicians have pretty well copied the music and called it their own. This is quite tragic and leaves the true origination of the song in obscurity.

The first time I heard this song I was watching the "Generals Daughter" many years ago. I was in awe with the song. Don't know what the lyrics mean. But her voice is some what captivating and the percussion's some what ???

Credit is due to Carter Benedict Burwell (born November 18, 1955) is an American composer of film scores. You can compare the Shipp sister's original from the Folkways recording, Carter Burwell added the rich, haunting instrumentation which compliments the voices so captivatingly. Truly a work of art.

adoro, esta musica transporta-me para o inconsciente do meu espirito, ainda hoje somos frutos da materia mais primitiva que existe na terra...

this song was originally performed by a sharecroppers teen-aged daughters who sang while being recorded on an portable recording device located in the back of a truck.

It was an effort by the Library of Congress to preserve what they considered was music that was disappearing from USA culture.

I listened to the Nina Simone version and while she is brilliant her version does not carry the same haunting mood, along with the strong drum backbeat as the original

If somebody today could do a cover of this, keeping as faithful as possible to the use of the banjos and drums, as well as the haunting voices of the singers it would be brilliant
