1. 'One Kind Favour' - a fresh take on the old country blues spiritual. According to Uncut Magazine, "Blind Lemon Jefferson recorded the traditional “See That My Grave Is Kept Clean” in October 1927, two years before he froze to death on the streets of Chicago. When Jefferson learned the song it was a folk spiritual called “Two White Horses In A Line”, also known as “One Kind Favour”. He turned it into something entirely his own and although Dylan followed Jefferson's arrangement fairly closely on his debut album, the two versions are also quite different. As Robert Shelton put it: "Blind Lemon's recording is sprightly, sweet and benevolent, while Dylan's is stark and morose". Listen: broadband / dial-up 2. 'Little Sadie' - the traditional appalachian murder ballad, first recorded by Clarence (Tom) Ashley in 1929, which tells the story of Lee Brown from North Carolina, who after shooting Little Sadie with his "44 smokeless", fled to the border town of Jericho, where he was caught and returned to Thomasville Jail to be sentenced to "41 years to wear the ball and stripes".
