Uncloudy Day

Composed by John Fahey ©Hodolog Music


This is Fahey's imaginative reworking of the tune by Roebuck Staples,
a hit for the Staples Singers in (195?). Originally appeared on the
"Vol.1: Blind Joe Death" album in 1958, subsequently reissued on "The
Legend of Blind Joe Death". The song requires a retune after the
intro.
