This week's freebie from The 1937 Flood jam sessions features a great old Mississippi John Hurt standard, "Payday."
The Flood has been doing this song for years now. In fact, it's featured on the first CD we recorded a decade ago this summer. But it is still a favorite at the weekly jam sessions, where the tune takes on a different personality, depending on who's sitting in that night.
On this version, we were especially energized because the great guitarist Jesse Smith was on hand, and his stellar finger-pickin' solos took "Payday" to a whole 'nother level! Hear the audio.
By the way, tunes from the jam sessions make up our weekly Flood podcasts. You can subscribe for free and get the music automatically delivered to your computer each Thursday. For details on that, click here.
