An acoustic “John Henry.”

John Henry was always one of my favorites from “Live in New York,” so it was great to run into this clip of Fred’s acoustic performance with almost exactly the same arrangement. His exemplary bottleneck playing (some say he was the best slide player ever) is on fine display. Unfortunately it’s undated, but it was sometime in the decade before 1968, when he started playing electric full time.
