Composer(s), autor(es)=  Letra (lyrics) = Hank Williams   -     Música (music)= ? (from "Grand Texas", an ancient tune recorded in Cajun French)
gravada também por (also recorded by) =  Hank Williams, The Blue Ridge Rangers (aka John Fogerty),  e outros.

Hank Williams Sr=
He copied the musical melody from an earlier tune recorded in Cajun French called "Grand Texas" and inserted words to the song that we know as "Jambalaya".      After Hank Williams Sr recorded his version with his new lyrics, Cajuns* re-recorded it with Hank Williams' words translated into Cajun French. Cajuns now consider the song to be one of our own songs. (By the way, Hank Williams mispronounced the word "Bayou". Hank pronounced it as "by-oh" when the correct pronunciation is "by-you". I guess he needed to rhyme with "me oh my oh"...)
Born in Mount Olive West, Alabama (near Georgiana) on September 17th, 1923........At sixteen, living in Montgomery, Williams left school and began his music career in earnest. He had made his first radio appearance on WSFA in late 1936 or early 1937, and would soon become one of the station's most popular performers. He also worked beer joints and regional shows with his band "The Drifting Cowboys".  Lillie drove the group to venues in her station wagon and collected gate money. By the early 40s, Hank was one of the biggest draws in the region, and had come to the attention of several Nashville artists and music business luminaries. But his reputation as a singer was already matched by the one he'd built for drinking and unreliability. Most considered him an unsafe bet.

(Cajuns*
are an ethnic group consisting essentially of the descendants of Acadians who came from Nova Scotia to Louisiana as a result of their refusal to swear allegiance to the British Crown. The word "Cajun" is a corruption of the French pronunciation of the word acadien, after Acadia, the name of their ancestral region in Nova Scotia; the name "Cajun" was applied to them by English-speaking colonists when they settled in Louisiana).

Composer(s), autor(es)=      
Arthur Smith
gravada também por (also recorded by) the drifters

Duelling Banjos, the theme tune from the film Deliverance, proved to be one of the unlikeliest hits of the '70s when it reached No 2 on the US pop charts in early 1973.  The banjo and guitar which traded licks so memorably were played by session players Eric Weissberg and Steve Mandell respectively, and these two gents taught the actors to mime the parts on film. The so-called film soundtrack album which was released was, in fact, an old LP entitled "New Dimensions in Banjo and Bluegrass" by Weissberg and Marshall Brickman.  The guitarist on much of that album was future Byrd Clarence White.  The hit single was the only tune on the album on which Steve Mandell played. The earlier album had included a tune entitled "End Of The Dream", which was very similar indeed to "Dueling Banjos", which was presumed to be a traditional tune, and was credited as such.  Things got even more difficult when Arthur Smith, who had had a 1945 million seller with the famous "Guitar Boogie", pointed out that he had in fact written and recorded an almost identical tune, which he called "Feuding Banjos", in 1955.  Normally the authorship of a bluegrass banjo tune wouldn't create much fuss, but Dueling Banjos sold in excess of a million copies. Smith eventually won a lawsuit over the issue, and the composer of ["Feuding Banjos"] and the composer of "Dueling Banjos" are now officially one and the same man. - [Arthur Smith]

Composer(s), autor(es)= Bob Dylan   
gravada também por (also recorded by) Bob Dylan

Bob Dylan: A genius?
For many of you Bob Dylan may have been your first prophet. Thousands of books have been written about Dylan and now he has written his own. He never wanted to change the world, he says, he just wanted a house in the suburbs. Next on Counterpoint Bob Dylan – maybe the greatest artist of our time?       Burning Man     Author Brian Doherty makes the annual trip to Burning Man, a cult art experience in the American
desert.   In the fall of 1961, Dylan's legend began to spread beyond folk circles and into the world at large after critic Robert Shelton saw him perform at Gerde's Folk City and raved in the New York Times that he was "bursting at the seams with talent." A month later, Columbia Records executive John Hammond signed Dylan to a recording contract, and the young singer-songwriter began selecting material for his eponymous debut album. Not yet fully confident in his own songwriting abilities, he cut only two original numbers, rounding out the collection with traditional folk tunes and songs by blues singers like Blind Lemon Jefferson and Bukka White. The result (released early in 1962) was an often haunting, death-obsessed record that, culminating in Dylan's gravel-voiced reading of "See That My Grave Is Kept Clean," sounded as much like the work of an aging black blues man as a twenty-one-year-old Jewish folksinger from Minnesota.
Promising as that first album was, it didn't prepare anyone for the masterpiece that came next. The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan, released in 1963, contained two of the sixties' most durable folk anthems, "Blowin' in the Wind" and "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall," the breathtaking ballads "Girl From the North Country" and "Don't Think Twice, It's All Right," and nine other originals that marked the emergence of the most distinctive and poetic voice in the history of American popular music. Cementing his reputation was Peter, Paul, and Mary's folksy cover of "Blowin' in the Wind," which went to No. 2 on the pop singles chart.
Dylan's next album, The Times They Are A-Changin', provided more of the same: the title cut and "The Lonesome Death of Hattie Carroll" were the standout protest songs, while "Boots of Spanish Leather" was his saddest and most graceful love song so far. At the same time, Dylan seemed to be tiring of his position at the forefront of the protest movement: in "Restless Farewell," the record's last song, he concluded that he'd "bid farewell and not give a damn." Sure enough, his next album, pointedly titled Another Side of Bob Dylan, was his most introspective and least topical to date, and its finale, "It Ain't Me Babe," was an even more explicit goodbye to the folk movement he had helped reinvigorate.
The most revealing song on Another Side was "Ballad in Plain D," which painted a harsh, one-sided, blow-by-blow picture of Dylan's breakup with his longtime girlfriend Suze Rotolo, who can be seen on his arm in happier days on the Freewheelin' album cover. (More than twenty years later, Dylan said this was the one song in his catalogue that he wished he hadn't released.) Shortly after his split with Rotolo, he became involved with the world's most famous folk diva, Joan Baez. The relationship proved beneficial for them both, as Baez raided Dylan's unreleased material for her albums and introduced him to thousands of fans at her concerts.
At the same time, Dylan was itching to move beyond the acoustic musical constraints the folk movement imposed. Early in 1965, he went into the studio with a nine piece band and recorded Bringing It All Back Home, a half-electric, half-acoustic album of complex, incisive, biting songs like "Subterranean Homesick Blues" (featuring the trademark line, "You don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows"), "Mr. Tambourine Man," and "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue." A week after Dylan cut Bringing It All Back Home, the Byrds electrified his acoustic "Tambourine Man," and by the time it reached the top of the charts the term "folk-rock" had become part of the contemporary lexicon.
Dylan's own transition from folk troubadour to rock bard was not quite so smooth: debuting his new material with the Paul Butterfield Blues Band at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, he was famously booed off the stage. Such resistance notwithstanding, Dylan's fame had long since eclipsed Baez's, and their relationship was starting to crumble. (D.A. Pennebaker's documentary Don't Look Back was filmed during this period, and it clearly shows the tension between Dylan and Baez.) He had begun to see Sara Lowndes, a friend of his manager Albert Grossman's wife, and by the end of the year would marry her. In the meantime, he recorded and released the album Highway 61 Revisited, which contained the monumental single "Like a Rolling Stone." Clocking in at more than six minutes, it was the longest, angriest song ever released on a 45, and it reached No. 2 on the Billboard singles chart.

John McDermott,   The Watersons on their album For Pence And Spicy Ale:
e outros

Originally a Scottish Folk Song,. The composer*s real name is Charles E. Pratt. It was published in 1881 and shortly thereafter was heard on many college campuses. It was perfect for community singing with children as well as adults and barbershop singers.               http://www.directquest.com/Songs/MyBonnie.htm          Record companies have to pay royalties to the original artists when they put out a cover album, so they usually try to take up the slack with a few originalsthey may also select to cover a traditional song, that isn't subject to royalties.
  The old favorite was originally, no doubt, a Scottish folk song. There doesn't appear to be any record of its age, composers or its publication, although in the late 1870s a number of people were requesting at the music stores a certain anonymous song bearing this title. (...) The story has it that a certain music publisher, seeking to capitalize on this ready-made demand, persuaded composer Charles E. Pratt to produce this mysterious song, and to write it in such a manner that people would feel inclined to join in the singing. Although it is not known, it is conceivable that Pratt may have had access to the missing Scottish folk song, but in any case he did produce "My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean" under the pseudonyms J.T. Wood (words) and H.J. Fulmer (music).      
http://www.ac-nantes.fr/peda/disc/lv/anglais/bonnie.htm           it appears that this may have been dedicated to Bonnie George (James) Campbell who died in the Battle of Glenlivet in 1564.     "My Barney lies over the ocean", 1919, in the Levy sheet music collection could have been inspired by either.

Hee Haw Gospel Quartet, Kitty Wells

A Grand Ole Opry star as part of the "Bailes Brothers" during the 1940s, Walter Bailes died Monday morning at the age of 80. After leaving the Opry in 1946, Walter and brother John went to KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana, where they laid the foundation for the now-famous "Louisiana Hayride" radio show. Bailes also was a good songwriter, who penned "Dust On The Bible" for Kitty Wells, as well as tunes for Wilma Lee and Stoney Cooper and Carl and Pearl Butler. Walter became a gospel minister in 1947, and he spent the rest of his life blending his music and preaching into a full-time ministry.            Walter Bailes, of renowned country harmony act the Bailes Brothers, died Monday (Nov. 27) in Sevierville, Tenn., at the age of 80. A talented writer of both secular and sacred songs, he penned the Bailes Brothers' best known works, "Dust on the Bible," later recorded by Kitty Wells, and "Give Mother My Crown," later covered by Flatt & Scruggs. Born and raised in West Virginia, Walter and his brothers Kyle, John and Homer seldom all worked together at once, instead pairing off for performances. Walter and John were stars of Nashville's WSM Grand Ole Opry in the mid-'40s and in 1946 went to KWKH in Shreveport, La., where they helped initiate the Louisiana Hayride and gave support to the fledging career of Hank Williams. Walter joined the ministry a year later and was replaced by Homer in the duo. Walter pastored evangelical churches and preached at numerous revivals in the U.S. and overseas. Walter and John re-formed as a gospel duo in 1953 to record for King, and Walter later recorded solo albums on his own White Dove label. In later years, various combinations of the brothers got together for occasional recordings and appearances. Until this summer, Walter was the host of a gospel show on WSM. A memorial service will be at 2 p.m. today (Nov. 30) at the Atchley Funeral Home in Sevierville.
