youtu.be/v42-5GOlsBU A great old blues tunes by Blind Willie McTell. Bob Dylan does an interesting interpretation of it on his album World Gone Wrong, but this is the original. After the video there is a quick bio about McTells life. He recorded in the 20s and 30s, largely unknown. He then became a wandering musician, making his living busking. He recorded again in the 50s but only upon the agreement that nothing would be released until after his death. McTell was afraid that if the recordings made much money, hed quickly drink himself to death. Dylan described the song in the sleeve notes of World Gone Wrong like this its about Ambiguity, the fortunes of the privileged elite, flood control — watching the red dawn not bothering to dress.
