Killing the Blues (Rowland Salley cover)
John Prine's version reigns supreme, but this song has meant a lot to me the past five months or so, so I thought I'd give it a shot.

I'd also like to thank Ray Liotta for his surprise appearance.

This song was written in 1963 about an event that happened 57 years ago today. After all this time, it is a shame that its message is still true. from "The Times They Are a-Changin'" (1964) #blacklivesmatter

      When I heard Robert Plant and Alyson Kraus sing this I thought it was Prine,I hadn't heard of Roland Sally,not surprising really as he was in Chris Isaac's backing band.
