She's only 17, yet if she had her way, she would tear this ol' building down
After careful thought and consideration, I decided to submit this tune. If you don't already know Rev. Gary Davis, you best get to knowin' him.
This song is a traditional and has been recorded by a lot of folks, including Peter Paul and Mary and The Grateful Dead, who were inspired by Gary Davis' version. The vocals are about as raw and emotional as you can get, and his picking leaves you amazed that there is only one guitar involved.
Enjoy:
Rev. Gary Davis - Samson and Delilah
(It's a WMA file, and I have absolutely no idea how to change it over into mp3 format, so if you have a mac, I'm very, very sorry.)
Edit: Troy was nice enough to shoot me a couple more versions of this song, in mp3 format.
