It took us a while before we got our first Peel Session, but as you'll hear on the recording, John really liked it.
Taped from the radio on cassette, a rather ragged recording.

Benny Profane - Blood On The Saddle
[Live/Pink Moon Record Shop/1988]
This is what happens when you learn a song from your 'Cowboy & Western Songs' book without ever hearing a recorded version.
Let's just say we played it quite a bit faster than it's meant to go.

Early heads up for tonights show on Mersey Radio
In a 1930 letter to The Times a sailor who had worked on ships carrying wool between Australia and the UK in the 1880s said that the song had originated as an African American spiritual which developed into a work song.
One of the first singers to record it was Paul Robeson.
