“Hard Time Killin’ Floor” by Skip James. This is one of the most haunting songs you’ll ever hear.
The killing floor is where livestock are slaughtered. Howlin’ Wolf picked up this theme and sang like he was the butcher. Not Skip James, though. He sings like he knows he’ll be on the bloody end of the hammer’s blow, and so will you.
