Freddy was an outstanding artist of the 20th century, and could not have done better than the group that was Queen.

I like this rediscovered Queen song; but the lyric content has a long history of people who faced great hardship. Here is an upbeat folk version of the forerunner of the lyrics:

Mississippi John Hurt - You Got To Walk That Lonesome Valley (Live)

And here is a stirring a capella version by the Fairfield Four, reminiscent of its origin as a slave work song:

Lonesome Valley from O Brother Where Art Thou

OMG! You referenced Mississippi John Hurt. Of Avalon fame.

One of my faves.

Queen jumped the shark with that insipid “Don’t Stop Me Now” song, they play ad nauseum in those commercials.

But their first few albums rocked.
