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