I Ain't Got No Home and Moonshiner

The first one this week is an old Woody Guthrie song, "I Ain't Got No Home," which I'm told is based on an even older spiritual. I played with the melody a bit. Typically I try to stay pretty authentic on these old songs but here I felt like I could make it feel a little more desperate.

Next up is "Moonshiner," an old folk song. The lyrics I use are a mix of a couple different versions. It's a moody song but really fun to sing. The narrator seems to drink more whiskey than he makes.

  1. Sounds like the 'Moonshiner' guy spends all his money the same way I do (plus daycare, of course). Great performance, Chuck.
