Name: I'm So Glad
Duration: P00H03M15S
Description: Although the song has had many lives, including psychedelic rock versions by the likes of Cream and Deep Purple, Mississippi blues legend Skip James might be startled by this radical rework of his 1931 classic. Originally a showcase for his virtuosic finger picking on solo guitar, here we’ve reframed it in a head-bobbing mixed-meter backbeat.

lyrics

Tired of weeping
Tired of moaning
Tired of crying over you
No more weeping
No more moaning
No more crying over you

I'm so glad, yes, I am glad
I am so glad, I’m glad ooh
I don't know what to do
Don't know what to do, Oooo,
Don't know what to do

Would you be my darling
Would you be my dear
Be my darling, be my dear
I'll go cuckoo koo, like a little baby do
And get another little kiss from you.

I'm so glad, yes, I am glad
I am so glad, I’m glad ooh
I don't know what to do
Don't know what to do, oooo,
don't know what to do

I’m so grateful this crossed my path. This album is so beautiful. All the clear technique and mastery and vision are kinda secondary to the fact that this album brought me calm and joy during one of the most difficult times in my life. Yeah, grateful. David McCullough
