Good Ole Rock 'n Roll thread

[Lemur]

It's amazing how many of those old Leadbelly songs turn into rocking anthems. Black Betty is one, here are some others:

House of the Rising Sun
Baby Please Don't Go
Midnight Special

And even some of his lesser songs get covered all the time:

Where Did You Sleep Last Night
Boll Weevil
Goodnight Irene

Let's hear it for the man.

-edit-

Just for giggles, here are the originals:

Black Betty
House of the Rising Sun (partial)
Baby Please Don't Go (can't find a Leadbelly version, but this is very close)
Midnight Special
Where Did You Sleep Last Night

This thread is probably not gonna make it. But don't you worry, guys like us can always go back to black.

This thread is probably not gonna make it.

What does that even mean? I've heard a lot of great music in this thread. Good stuff all around. I'd call that making it.

Aye Lemur, but the Earthlings demand constant feeding of a thread, or else it dies. Like I said, we don't mind. After all is said and done, she's gonna come to our room.
