Midnight Special
This is a an old folk song often erroneously attributed to Huddie Ledbetter, but I still give him credit because Leadbelly did it so well and brought it into the 20th Century. It's now in public domain. I changed some of the words, especially the chorus for Miss Rosie. The live version is really just man-you-fractured in the studio to sound like an audience recording. Notice the cheers for the guitar solo, and the smattering of polite applause for the harmonica solo --probably the other harp players in the attendance.
It is here redone using BiaB and Cakewalk. I played bass and sang (and stood stage right). Audience made up of many free sounds from freesounds.org.
