awatt Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 I only know the version that's up on roadcase from Mandel Hall. Can anyone provide me with other versions as mp3? And, I hate to admit it, but I don't know the history of this one. Did Jeff write this? Thanks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheMaker Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Has anybody else ever heard the old Johnny Cash version of this song? What struck me most about it is how not dissimilar to Wilco's arrangement it is. Pretty freaky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Synthesizer Patel Posted July 12, 2006 Share Posted July 12, 2006 So who wrote it? nobody knows. It's 'written' by the carter family. It's copyrighted to A.P. Carter, but as with most of their songs, this is only because they were the first to record them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

awatt Posted July 15, 2006 Author Share Posted July 15, 2006 Thanks to whoever mentioned the KCRW live performance which is easily accessible on the web. JT gives a little background on the song then does a great version. Could this be a song from Civil War era? Doesn't matter, I love it and wish the solo version were back on Roadcase (not that I don't like Duluth show....). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
