Just me on guitar, voice and melodica here. I first heard RWB sung by Maria Muldaur on Jim Kweskin and the Jug Band's 1967 album "See Reverse Side for Title." The original song was written by Mississippi John Hurt, although the lyrics are altered here and there in my and Muldaur's versions. Also, I've made a slightly blue alteration of the Muldaur rendition in verse three. It seemed a natural choice to me given the red rooster image, and I've always sung it with the switch for "dude" (except before more "delicate" audiences).
