I didn’t use computers at this point, it was all done with stand-alone samplers. When it was finished, I collapsed in exhaustion. I didn’t know this when I recorded it, but it’s a standard. Everybody’s done it. Elvis Presley did a version of it, Johnny Cash did it. If you were a gospel or country star, everyone covered that song. And I had no idea.\"\n--\nOne of those samples was the previous song from   Bill Landford & The Landfordaires.",

Best known for her 1937 song \"Trouble So Hard\", she was inducted into the Alabama Women's Hall of Fame in 2005.: https://www.awhf.org/hall.html\n--\nAlan Lomax wrote, “...her singing is like a deep-voiced shepherd’s flute, mellow and pure in tone, yet always with hints of the lips and the pleasure-loving flesh... The sound comes from deep within her when she sings, from a source of gold and light, otherwise hidden, and falls directly upon your ear like sunlight. It is a liquid, full contralto, rich in low overtones; but it can leap directly into falsetto and play there as effortlessly as a bird in the wind.”",

They thought it sounded like a Fatboy Slim ripoff — which I guess it kind of did. I like it because the hip-hop sample was off the first mixtape I ever got, maybe in 1981, off of the Mr. Magic Show on WBLS. The guitar is directly inspired by What we all want by Gang of Four. And I thought it was kind of funny to have an orchestral chorus on what is essentially a hip-hip song.\"\n--\nAlso sampling Spoonie Gee's \"Love Rap.\"",
