Clyde Hill - Long Hot Summer Days
If you look for the name Clyde Hill in musical histories you likely won't find much, as "Long Hot Summer Days" is a field recording made in Texas in the 1930s. The Lomaxes, as was their wont, found a group of men (with Clyde Hill leading the singing) and recorded them. It's a nice example of African-American folk music drawn from deep traditional sources, in a style that may no longer exist.
