Woody Guthrie & Cisco Houston / John Henry

Woody Guthrie (1912-1967) & Cisco Houston (1918-1961) "John Henry" (rec. 19 April 1944) "'John Henry' is probably the most famous and frequently performed American folksong...The song deals with the legendary John Henry and the digging of the Big Bend Tunnel in West Virginia. It has been interpreted many ways, and some of the variants include West Virginia's Williamson Brothers and Curry's 'Gonna Die with a Hammer in my Hand,' 'The Death of John Henry' by Uncle Dave Macon (1870-1952); 'New John Henry Blues' by Bill Monroe (1911-1996); and 'Spikedriver Blues' by Mississippi John Hurt (1893-1966)." - Jeff Place
