oh, wow, very dark - and beautiful - who can out-do her!!! the weird thing is, i've never heard this piece before - but it so reminds me of a piece of my own that i did enroute from the east coast to here some months back - called "we ain't talkin' cotton" - posted october 15, 2010, at http://gypsywomanworld.blogspot.com/search?q=cotton
What a strange song.... love her haunting voice but very disturbing lyrics.
ReplyDeleteThis has always been special to me. Especially in the 70's. We should not forget how it was.
ReplyDeleteWhat an icon, what a voice.
ReplyDeleteThat song has always given me the creeps. Bodies hanging from trees. It's very upsetting.
