I love Jimmie and Odettas' versions and I like this modern rendition too. Music (all art actually) is not static. There will always be someone who wants to do it a little differently it does not take away from the original. I think Jimmie Driftwood would approve of his music going forward into the 21st century. He was a history teacher after all.
The message of the song stays true to form. I wonder how many poor souls have long chains on.
two thumbs down?! people are lost. thus was the freshest thing I've heard in quite a while
Brilliant
This song is about slavery.

Jimmie Driftwood would be proud
Just heard this song on npr, it's pretty good
like Jimmy Driftwood's version much better; this version sounds awful---my opinion.
What on earth was that.. 😨 why try cover Driftwood when you can’t even sing three blind mice in tune…
