Another Blues standard which features on Lucinda's album is Make Me a Pallet on Your Floor which is also sometimes referred to as Make Me a Pallet on The Floor or Make Me Down a Pallet on Your Floor.
This song dates back to 1911 with the modern score attributed to W.C. Handy
It has been covered many times by the likes of Mississippi John Hurt, Big Bill Broonzy and Jelly Roll Morton to name but three. Here is Mississippi John:
Another excellent cover can be found on Gillian Welch's excellent 2003 album Soul Journey.

Is it me or have you posted the same track twice? They sound identical
ReplyDeleteOoops now rectified. You got Lucinda twice which is no bad thing. You can see why I have never attempted Single Song Sunday a la the great Ernie Goggins!
ReplyDeleteI quite like the idea of posting the same song 7times
