"I Know You Rider" (also "Woman Blues" and "I Know My Rider") is a traditional blues song that has been adapted by numerous artists in folk, country and rock versions. Here is my cover of it with the Yazoo Ramblers, which I posted to the channel on June 12, 2026.
Our take is done in the Grateful Dead style, according to the video description.
Why I picked it
Yeah, we all know the characters. Who misses what?
