#98 – Ballad Of Spider John
Some songs just catch you at the right moment or at a special time, and become a part of your story, and then there are just some songs that will catch you no matter what is going on, regardless of time or place or space. Ballad Of Spider John is one of those songs. It has a soulful lyrical quality, a melody that hums right through you and has hints of great mystery, of love and then loss and the loneliness that can follow while we carry forward in life.
“’Spider John’ is my name, friend, I’m in between freights and I sure would be obliged, If you’d share your company…”
