 Jesus, Will You Come By Here. Sometimes at The Flood's jam sessions, impromptu tributes to our heroes come about when we land on tunes we don't usually plays. Here's a case in point. Sam "Lightnin'" Hopkins recorded "Jesus, Will Come By Here" back in 1952, but the song went largely unnoticed for 20 years. Then in 1972, the Cicely Tyson/Paul Winfield movie, "Sounder," used it in the soundtrack, calling it "Needed Time," and that's the first we heard it. This jam session version is a lot more raucous than Lightnin's original, but it does capture the joy of Wednesday nights with the Family Flood.
