about

Originally written and performed by Gus Cannon on banjo and named after an infamous and highly skilled prostitute he "knew" at the time, the recorded track was also made famous by the legendary harp playing of Noah Lewis. The lyrics in the original refer to being sentenced to jail in Memphis and then marched in a chain gang to the Nashville State Penitentiary, and also mentions the relatively new and glamorous novelty that was the U.S. airmail service - the B.D.B.B version of this little gem is a swirling hypnotic 6/4 dream that can, under certain circumstances, make you leave your body xx
