Re: Another song about John Henry

Since some time, "Flood" is in my car, I like the whole album. Joe´s version of John Henry is much more elaborated and less traditional, but you can´t compare the two songs really. I like both.

What a great rendition. I love the shoebox slide! Joe has to have one for his collection now.  smile

Yes, they are a great band, and I like that version. Not really looking to make comparisons, but I'd certainly recommend Flood to those who like their blues raw, rootsy and rocky!  smile
