this is gorgeous.  We should do another Camden Radio session

this is lovely!..would love to remix this 

And now for something completely different ;)

Some days ago I was completely captivated by Nina Simone's live performance in 1965, seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdtap2qU8Zk
Spontaneously the idea came up to melt her incomparable voice with some contemporary beats. I never did something like that before and it was big fun to drift away in this kind of music. 

Hope you like it: 
"Nina Simone  - a very warm welcome to the program"

• The Ballad of Hollis Brown

Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
Hollis Brown
He lived on the outside of town
With his wife and five children
And his cabin brokin' down.

He looked for work and money
And walked a rugged mile
He looked for work and money
Walked a rugged mile
His children are so hungry
Don't know how to smile.

Rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
Rats have got your flour
Bad blood it got your mare
Is there anyone who knows?
Is there anyone who cares?

So you prayed to the Lord above
Please send you a friend
You prayed to the Lord above
Oh please send you a friend
But your empty pockets tell you
That you ain't a-got no friend.

Grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
Grass is turning black
There's no water in your well
Your spent your last lone dollar
On a seven shotgun shels.

Your baby's eyes look crazy
To a-tuggin' at your sleeve
Your baby's eyes look crazy
To a-tuggin' at your sleeve
Is there anyone who knows?
Is there anyone who cares?

Seven shots ring out
Like the ocean's pounding roar
There's seven people dead
On a south Dakota farm.

Somewhere in the distance
Seven new people born.
