Not like Mississippi John Hurt's. I had forgotten about this version, so when I remembered it, I wanted to get it down, quick! I think the Rooftop Singers may have done this one. Sorry it's so dark, the evening was closing in!
Stagolee an old country blues song done by Mississippi John Hurt. Again this was done on the first take with some mistakes. Alternating finger picking used. Recorded in the woods where I make my moonshine.

A version of Mississippi John Hurt's playing of 'Stack O'Lee Blues' (or Stagolee). Played on a Yamaha F310. It was hearing this song played by MJH (on 'The Best of MJH') that made me take up fingerpicking back in'75. This is the first piece I ever learned to pick - and I've been learning ever since!
