You ain’t no kinda man if you ain’t got land.

One of the greatest movies ever made. One of my all time favorites. "Damn, were in a tight spot".
-
This is the song of America right now. We are hurting. They getting richer. We are suffering. They making is worse. The Constitution is hanging by a thread and so are we.

I come back to this whenever shit looks down. Tryna move my girl and my kid bro into a new place. Shits tough, but I know I’ll get through. God bless, y’all.

This touches the soul

If I could choose only 1 song to explain what blues is to someone I’d choose this one twice
-
I blame this movie for my taste in blues

"You ain't no kinda man if you ain't got land."

Hard time here and everywhere you go Times is harder than ever been before And the people are driftin' from door to door Can't find no heaven, I don't care where they go Hear me tell you people, just before I go These hard times will kill you just dry long so Well, you hear me singin' my lonesome song These hard times can last us so very long If I ever get off this killin' floor I'll never get down this low no more No-no, no-no, I'll never get down this low no more And you say you had money, you better be sure 'Cause these hard times will drive you from door to door Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more Sing this song and I ain't gonna sing no more These hard times will drive you from door to door

you ain't no kinda man, unless you own land.

This is one of the deepest blues songs ive ever heard. That open D minor tuning… man oh man
-
Now this. Is music
-
my favourite blues of my life.
-
these hard times'll drive you from door to door..
-
This is is a difficult song to master and King does it. I think Skip James would be impressed.
-
The only way to play this song correctly is to play it in the woods and or next to a fire
-
I love how CTK and this song was a relatively small part of the movie but really stole peoples hearts.
-
Anyone know of any song’s similar to this? Can’t get enough of this.

This song makes me think of the time my two brothers and I were homeless ...we were just kids ...hard times..
