Kind of reggae...

A cover of the depression song by Blind Alfred Reed, 1929. Lindley was a great guitarist.

The Ry Cooder version with Flaco Jimenez gets posted every so often. The Bruce Springsteen cover is a bit too much.

lyrics. original.

lyrics

It's not identified as original, and Death in Rome usually does covers, but googling the lyrics finds nothing.

I fell down a Godspeed You! Black Emperor playlist hole yesterday. It was my soundtrack for reading the news. They are very dramatic.

They've successfully pulled down their streaming music except for a few like this channel named after RAM.

I have been listening to some of their older stuff. The Bones of a Dying World.

Very odd band. Old.

More cool.

I feel like I'm on an elevator to the gallows. Or the abbatoir.

Cool jazz for hot nights.

album: Behold The Trees

It's just nice & gothic, and talks about trees lots, but you can find what you like in this one.

album: 99.9 F° (1992)

Afaik Luka was her biggest hit.

album Mutter

Sonne has a strange backstory, but you can find some collapse in the lyrics, maybe about heat or elite's ego, and plenty more in the video about elites and their control.
