Huddle Ledbetter

Rick, I couldn’t find Work Song (Axe Cutting Song), there is no way to find it on youtube/spotfy. I
actually found Axe Cutting blues, but from other people so the structure wouldn’t be the same. So I
just made from Where Did you Sleep Last Night, cuz I remember that I used to listen to it when I
was a teenager. Do you know Nirvana has a cover of it? Eventough Kurt Cobaiin is not the best
vocalist I think it worked pretty well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEMm7gxBYSc
