Clifton Hicks "Trifling Woman" by Frank Proffitt
64
This video features Clifton Hicks performing "Triflin' Woman," a song learned from Josh Hayes, who in turn learned it from a 1962 recording by Frank Proffitt. Hicks plays a handmade 5-string gourd banjo tuned to approximately eBEG♯B. The description also includes links to his Bandcamp, merchandise store, Patreon, and other platforms. The lyrics express frustration with a partner who spends money lavishly while the singer works hard and wears rags, and who prefers to be seen on the "log road" rather than engage in domestic tasks. The song conveys a strong sense of weariness and dissatisfaction with the relationship.
