Cora Fluker
“Cora Fluker grew up on a cotton plantation near
Livingston, Alabama. From an early age she sang in the cotton fields leading a family work gang. A deeply traditional artist with a large repertoire of work songs, spirituals, blues and ballads…” - Dr. Barry Lee Pearson, The Country Blues
“Others, I don't pay them no mind. You brush them off. Because they ain't taking care of you. You taking care of yourself. And they do what they want to do and I do what I want. And as you sweep around your own door, you ain't got time to sweep around mine. It's a person made a song about "sweep around your own door." That's the best song that's ever been made in this world.” - Cora Fluker
