Lead Belly - 'Fannin' Street (Mister Tom Hughes Town)'

[shantelmcalister]

that staccato 12 string work is simply amazing. & singing while he does it. Incredible.

Genius. God bless America. May we grow in love and understanding

The first heavy metal song ever. First thrash metal song starts @2:30

[oldbladderhorn]

this is definitely where the zeppelin boys got their momentum from
this is the influence for a few zep tunes this the plain raw meat
Street vendor blues that the Led Zep spiced and redefined
no longer a hot dog, though it'll keep you regular
this is the real S*** hot blues

[JKeays]

Is there other Lead belly song where he play that fast staccato?
