This ballad launched Claude King's career in the US in 1962. Apparently it was based on a real character who lived on Woolverton Mountain in Arkansas. Johnny Horton and George Jones supposedly declined the chance to record the song. If so it was a bad decision. Claude King decided to record it himself and the song was at the top of the US charts for nine weeks. You can hear the original recording elsewhere on YouTube so why bother listening to my cover?. + Informações

Johnny Horton and Claude King were close friends, a Claude King's version of; North To Alaska was only natural. Actually recorded Claude King an album in honor of Johnny Horton in 1969 titled; I Remember Johnny. The video contains images from a large forest just north of Copenhagen. Dyrehavsbakken. This forest contains the world's oldest amusement park, which is over 400 years. A late autumn day in the wonderful weather, I decided to take a walk in the woods with my bike and find some good pictures of autumn colors. In the morning I talked with some friends from the US through Facebook and told about my trip, and they wished me a good trip in the wilderness, and I had to tell them that it was Denmark, not the Rocky Mountains, in the US But I had an experience that can compare with experiences in Rocky Top. Now it became finally a video. + Informações
