The 14th of December, 2012 -- Session 6, The Snake is Shaded and the Tongues are Reddened


    

Todays soundtrack brought to you by Riley Puckett! We can't seem to get enough of Georgia's greatest string band, The Skillet Lickers, which features mighty guitar playing by the great blind guitarist Riley Puckett. Here's a great track of Riley and mandolinist Ted Hawkins.

The second half of the session's soundtrack included the great Bahamian guitarist Joseph Spence singing a Christmas favorite that will make most small children wet their pants.
