Mississippi John Hurt wrote this song, but it's true origins (or the origins of the murder story) are a little vague. Lisa Stubbs from Mourning Dove sings backup harmonies. And like all of the other songs on the record, it was tracked all live, and you can hear my foot tapping along as we really get going.
Soulful guitar interplay form the heart of this lovely Americana collaboration from Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 2, 2018
