steve earle, “make me a pallet on your floor”
from: I am a pilgrim Doc Watson at 100, 2023
Folk music is a form of tribute to those who have preceded us. Idiosyncratic recasting of the familiar can bring particular joy. In this case Steve Earl lends his sweet and gravelly voice to a country-blues telling of a timeless folk classic. It is included a new tribute album to Doc Watson called "I Am A Pilgim - Doc Watson At 100". Steve Earl's contribution is one of many gems on this great collection produced by Matthew Stevens.
