Make Me A Pallet On The Floor


I have been a fan of Mississippi John Hurt for a while now. I'll do an entire post on the man in the future. His story is amazing. I'm lucky enough to have quite a bit of his material. I really enjoy J. Tillman as well and was happy to see we share an interest in a classic song originally written by W.C. Handy. I thought I would post both songs. They are great in their own way. The contrast in musical styles is obvious but the song stays true. I like that. Matt Martin was the one who showed me both videos. Thanks Matt.
