In Your Dreams

If you don't know this song, where the hell have you been?! This is a traditional arrangement, but a personal take on the John Henry story is on the way. I recorded this because I was playing it so much. 

Ballad of John Henry (traditional)

Songwriter and singer playing rueful Americana with a steaming side of blues. It's really about the story, set to music.
