SONG OF THE WEEK!!!
"Where Did Sleep Last Night" by Lead Belly. This is a perfect example of a true-by-definition folk song. The definition of a folk song is a song passed down through generations by word of mouth with unknown composers and date of origin though it has evolved into a playing and lyrical style. This song is believed to date back all the way to at least the 1870's from the Southern Appalachian region. Lead Belly recorded several versions of this song in the 1940's. Other artists covered this song under other titles including "In the Pines", "Black Girl", "Black Gal", "Pine Grove Blues", and "Where did you Sleep Last Night", "Rolling Mill Blues", and "Brown Skin Blues". This is a truly wonderful version of this song by a blues legend with a voice full of feeling.
