THROWBACK THURSDAY: Oh, Sinner Man!
Run to the Lord, Lord won't you hide me?
All on that day?" But everywhere he goes, everything is -- literally, I guess -- going to Hell.
I suppose the song is ancient. Certainly the terrifying theology behind it is.
Oh! sinner, Oh! sinner man...
Oh! sinner, Oh! which way are you going?
Which way are you going?
Oh! which way are you going?
Another gospel group, The Swan Silvertones, did a version that sounds a lot like a tune called "Run, Sinner Run," recorded by Josh White and The Golden Gate Quartet in 1940.
The Weavers introduced "Sinner Man" to the folk music world.
But it was Nina Simone who, in the early '60s, brought new fire into "Sinner Man" in a 10-minute, piano-driven version.
Here are a couple of 21st Century "Sinner Man" takes. In 2002, tThe Colorado goth-country 16 Horsepower put their own peculiar stamp on the song.
And Black Diamond Heavies recorded a powerful version in 2008.
But my favorite "Sinner Man" is the two-part romp recorded by R&B mutant Esquerita in the mid '60s but not released until 2012. It's definitely based on the Nina Simone version, though it's even wilder. Here's Part Two. Hang on and run to the rock!
