Purists tell us this doesn’t sound much like Mississippi John Hurt’s original, but that’s pretty much by design.
Once we learn a song, we usually stop listening to the original so it’s free to find its own form in the Floodisphere. At least, that’s our take on what Pete Seeger’s folklorist father called “the folk process.”
And in this instance, "Payday" has been processing in Floodlandia for more than 20 years now, ever since its inclusion on the band’s first studio album back in 2001. Here's the current state of its evolution, take from a recent rehearsal.
