KILL IT KID
Blind Willie McTell
Atlanta Twelve String
Atlantic : 1949
[Buy It]

Someone once asked me if the reason I wrote was that I couldn't sing. "Sometimes it seems like you'd rather be a singer," she said. "But you do your best." I rolled away from her and faced the other way in bed. It hurt my feelings: not the part about why I wrote, but the part about not being able to sing. If I had been smarter, or quicker, or happier, or older, I would have said that she had hit the nail on the head, gotten up, put on a record, gone back to bed, and done my best. That record would have been "Kill It Kid."
