8. Chloe Creek

We loaded our recording equipment into a cigar box and headed for Pike County, Kentucky at the invitation of poet Jay McCoy, to visit the Church Of God In Jesus Name on his ancestral land on Chloe Creek, near Pikeville.

Maurice reads To The Sons And Daughters Of Yee, and The Stranger then pulls out the banjo for an original song he wrote, based on an old Charlie Patton song, High Water Everywhere. The song is in honor of all of the people affected by the horrific flooding in Eastern Kentucky and the surrounding area in July of 2022.
