A sloppy and energetic performance of "John Henry." Some of the most passionate vocals I've heard in any version of the song.
From the Deep River of Song series of recordings by John and Alan Lomax in the South, in the period of 1933-1946. The musicians on this are Sidney Hemphill, Will Head, Lucius Smith, and Alec Askew. Photos all of random string band musicians, plus a cover from 78 quarterly.
