how amazing is this song?
so many great lines -- "put your arms around me mama like a circle 'round the sun" -- "she's a married woman, comes to see me sometimes"

Yeah, it's 100% classic.Canon's Jug Stompers are another favorite of mine. I've got a 78 by the Mississippi Jook Band that is pretty awesome too.

don't know if there's actual jug on that last one tho. amtst is right up thread when he says the dynamics of the jug band weren't captured very well by the recording technology of the time.

ian: yeah, i get the feeling that live the bottom of these tunes was HUGE -- on record it just kind of floats in the distance
the kazoo solo on "stealin, stealin" is immortal.

We have copies of County 202, the 1963 recordings made by John Cohen, Mike Seeger & Tracy Schwarz. I'll send a list of the others--there's a doc roberts comp, a hillbillies comp, a few v/a, maybe still some skillet lickers. i'll send a list in a bit.
― ian, Friday, 7 August 2009 19:10 (fourteen years ago) link
yeah, email me. i'm def. interested in county 202. i have a cassette dub of that from my college days, but have never had the actual LP.
