This is a real artist playing authentic music which should be upheld as a part of our history.

[@exeuroweenie]

Just some guy and an acoustic guitar made one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard.Pompous production,tech stuff,and solos would have ruined it.

[@Amano266]

wait , is it really that good ? (tried it 10 times)....YESSS !!!!

[@jimmyahrman4747]

Real hot stuff!!!

[@SeagreenSerenade]

hey !!! another great one ! :)

[@giosalamanca453]

lyrics? hey I'm from Colombia and I've been trying to re write the lyrics but...it's just hard...damn I love his music, that's rock n roll

[@tomogburn2462]

The song is about a man married to an unfaithful woman and hiring a contract killer to assassinate her. "May as the devil in the jeek" basically means "what happens in vegas stays in vegas" Its a phrase to describe, basically, people raping young field workers.

+Tom Ogburn hey Tom, thanks, good vibes, awesome

[@giosalamanca453]

And also thanks for the meaning class, is kinda racist, but the important here is rock n roll, and a truly deep meaning of the lyrics make me think about leadbelly...

[@drmariomaster85]

Songs and music and art are beautiful in that they can be left to interpretation and mean different things to different people. That being said... this song is about a man who sells his soul to the devil to be be good with the ladies only to have it backfire on him with those women being unfaithful. The devil is sly like that.

I got the blues

[@lemonsqueezermunich]

I just wonder, what is your problem?

[@vergiltheapprochestorm2365]

Bro why no one here talking about the name of song and lyrics wtf

[@postpunk69SexAndViolence]

You mean... racist? If you take some time to know JLP and his art you gonna understand that there is no racism in him. He wrote Music about America' seedy underbelly, blues, South, voodoo, death and drugs. He's last person to be called racist.

​@@postpunk69SexAndViolencestill, it's not right for a privileged white person to say the n-word. Not edge-y, just wrong.

@@abl176 Jeffrey Lee Pierce privileged?

[@abl176]

@@postpunk69SexAndViolence *checks JLP's skin color* uhhh, yeah! Idc who it is, it's never OK for a white person to say the N word in any context. Not Patti Smith, not Steve Albini, not John Prine, not JLP. For the record, I'm not calling any of these folks racist. Only that none of them get an artistic license to use that word.

[@Stanley_Baby]

@@abl176So a black person can say words a white can’t? That’s racist
