★ “Where Did You Sleep Last Night,” also known as “In The Pines'' dates back to the 1800’s. However, it was first recorded in 1926 by banjo player Dock Walsh. Then by Bill Monroe in 1941, and Lead Belly in 1944.

★ The blues tune recounts a story of domestic deceit and perhaps murder. Betrayed by his wife possesses this man, and in a rage he stumbles into the cold night to seek revenge. The man is then killed, accidently or by murder; it’s still up to debate.

★ Kurt Cobain was introduced to this song by colleague and friend Mark Lanegan, the vocalist for the Seattle band The Screaming Trees. They spent a lot of time together due to Kurt staying with Lanegan for days on end. They would bond over blues records they both adored. One day in 1989, while listening to Lead Belly at Kurt’s place, they came up with the idea to do a record of all Lead Belly covers.

★ However, with the mutual respect they shared, it was difficult for either one of them to take control. However, one surviving take of the lost project would make in on Mark Lanegan’s solo album, The Winding Sheet (1990) in Mark’s words,  "[We] ended up using a recording of one of the heavier songs from our aborted Lead Belly record, 'Where Did You Sleep Last Night?,'" Lanegan wrote in his memoir, "an acoustic tune Kurt had electrified, which had compelled me to take my performance into the familiar rock territory of the Trees, doubling my voice to harmonize with myself and singing the last couple verses in the very utmost registers of my limited vocal range."

★ Kurt sings backup and plays guitar as well as Krist Novaselic on bass and the drummer of The Screaming Trees.

★ Dave Grohl has been vocal about the influence Lanegan had on the 1993 Nirvana MTV Unplugged Concert; even referring The Winding Sheet as “one of the best albums of all time” 

★Nirvana performed the song in the 1990s a few times. Their version is based on Lead Belly’s 1944 Musicraft 78 RPM version. Lanegan commented on the Unplugged performance of the song,“His version of that song is the definitive version — it blows mine away…One of the coolest things that ever came from hanging with Kurt was just sitting in his shed and hearing him play acoustic guitar and singing. It was so soulful and real, it gave me the chills."

★A single of Pennyroyal Tea, set to be released in 1994 included, on the b-side of the record, a Lead Belly track, however it was canceled following Kurt's death later that year.

I didn't want to get right back into the car after the chiropractor, so I wandered Barnes and Noble. Not my first choice for vinyl, but I found a few today.

Clearly I was in a 90s mood.
