Lew Dite with his tenor banjo A song the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group taught me to love. Actually this is the song that made me fall in love with skiffle music and so it holds a special place in my heart. THUS THE REASON FOR THE FANCY VIDEO EFFECTS. The Cotton Song was the "B" side to Freight Train ("A" side) by Nancy Whiskey and the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group. When I heard The Cotton Song (1957) I was immediately struck by the accessibility of the music. This song by the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group reminded me of the campfire singing that I experienced as a young boy. Within weeks I had started my own skiffle group.. + Informações

Nancy Whiskey From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Nancy Whiskey (b Anne Alexandra Young Wilson, Bridgeton, Glasgow, Scotland, 4 March 1935 -- d 1 February 2003) was a Scottish folk singer, best known for the 1957 hit song "Freight Train". While attending art school in Glasgow, Anne Wilson performed on the local folk club circuit where she met fellow singer and guitarist Jimmie MacGregor who introduced her to blues and hillbilly music. She took her stage name from a folk song which had a chorus of "Whiskey, whiskey, Nancy, whiskey". She was signed to Topic Records and moved to London in 1955. Although reluctant to surrender her reputation as a solo performer, she was persuaded to join the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group to record Elizabeth Cotten's song "Freight Train". The record made the UK top five in 1957, and she also toured the USA with McDevitt's group. After a second, smaller hit, "Greenback Dollar", Whiskey left the group to resume a solo career and marry musician Bob Kelly, who became a member of her backing group, the Teetotallers. By the 1970s, she had largely retired from music.. + Informações

Charted at #6 on Billboard Hot 100 in May 1957. Rusty's last Top 10 hit. Original Billboard review: "Draper has a very strong cover of this tune, already making noise via the Charles McDevitt skiffle group original. Draper's version has some of the gory lyrics cleaned up and can cut in plenty on the loot. Likely to get solid disk jockey and jukebox support." Also charted #40 for the Charles McDevitt Skiffle Group mentioned in the review (#5 UK). Later, it charted at #110 for Duane Eddy in 1970 (#24 Adult Contemporary). Written by Elizabeth Cotten. B-side is "Seven Come Eleven".. + Informações

"Freight Train" is an American folk song written by Elizabeth Cotten in the early 1900s and popularized during the American folk revival period of the 1950s and 1960s. By Elizabeth's own account in the 1985 BBC series Down Home, she composed "Freight Train" as a young teenager, inspired by the sound of the trains rolling in on the tracks near her home in North Carolina. The first recording of the song was made by Mike Seeger in 1957--1958, at Elizabeth's home in Washington, DC[1]. Ramblin' Jack Elliott recorded this song in 1957. It is included on the CD The Lost Topic Tapes: Cowes Harbour 1957 Many artists have since recorded their own version of the song, including Rusty Draper Laura Gibson Chet Atkins Jerry Garcia & David Grisman Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group featuring Nancy Whiskey (# 5 on the UK singles chart in 1957) Mike Seeger Pat Donohue Sonny Terry & Brownie McGhee Doc Watson & David Holt Joan Baez Peter, Paul, & Mary Alex Campbell (singer) Peggy Seeger Taj Mahal Ramblin' Jack Elliott Tommy Emmanuel Laura Veirs Hope You Enjoy My Version Of This Classic, Jesse :). + Informações
