From my Grammy-nominated album with the Heritage Blues Orchestra "And Still I Rise", an international collaboration honoring African-American Musical traditions. This song was made famous by Leadbelly and remains one of the only work songs I know of that references women being in chain gangs. 

Note: Hannah is a code for the sun.

Go Down Hannah

This is one of my favorite traditional Blues songs to sing. Also known as "The Killing Floor Blues" which refers to coming upon hard times and having to work in a slaughter house. This song also highlights the call and response that happens between the voice and the guitar in this genre.

With blues/folk/roots music lyrics often change with the teller and the experiences they bring to the music. i had never heard a woman singing this song...or singing it with lyrics that refer to loving another woman, or doing whatever it took to support and love their partner during said hard times. 

Recorded live at Aulnay All Blues Festival in France with the Heritage Blues Trio in 2009.
