To close another The Walking Dead ep Telltale's Janel Drewis provides her own take on In the Pines (Where Did You Sleep Last Night) to spine-tingling effect
#eternallove - One of my all time favorite songs; and one my latest favorite #videogames (Telltale's The Walking Dead season two).
"In the Pines", a.k.a. "Black Girl" and "Where Did You Sleep Last Night", is a traditional American folk song which dates back to at least the 1870s. It is believed to be Southern Appalachian in origin. The identity of the author is unknown, but it has been recorded by many artists in numerous genres. It is most often associated with the blues musician Lead Belly, who recorded several versions in the 1940s, as well as bluegrass musician Bill Monroe, who helped popularize the song (in a different variant, featuring lyrics about a train) among bluegrass and country audiences with his versions recorded in the 1940s and 1950s.
The song, performed by The Four Pennies, reached the UK top twenty in 1964. A live rendering was also perfomed by the band Nirvana - Sometimes they just keep living on.
