Harry 'Haywire' McClintock wrote his first song, the story of "Big Rock Candy Mountain." around the turn of the last century which was based on fairy tales he had heard growing up, conjuring up images of houses built out of sweet cakes and candy. In this visual adaptation a scruffy old hobo brings us on a journey around this wonderfully lazy place where hand-outs grow on bushes and you can sleep out every night. With beautifully rendered backgrounds and silky smooth animation the Big Rock Candy Mountain is something anybody of any age will enjoy.. + Informações

Joe Hill's song 'The Preacher and the Slave' (tune by JP Webster) played by Harry K McClintock with a brief interview by Sam Eskin. Recorded Feb. 3 1951 in San Pedro California. Originally released 1972, fro Haywire Mac, (Folkways FD 5272) Known as ''Pie in the Sky'' and ''Long-Haired Preacher Song'' this was the first of 25 of Joe Hill's songs and poems to appear between 1911 and 1916 in the IWW's Little Red Songbook (IWW -Songs To Fan The Flames Of Discontent). Joe Hill popularized the expression ''pie in the sky''. Haywire Mac McClintock (1882-1957) worked and travelled throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, The Pacific, and North America. He told stories of his association with Joe Hill: they organized in Portland, OR, in 1910; lived in a batch in Hilo, Hawaii, during the winter of 1910/11; the met again in Utah where McClintock worked and eventually married before he moved on. McClintock fought actively in the 1913 strike in Tucker, Utah, after whic workers claimed in a Solidarity (IWW newspaper) editorial that Utah Wobblies were being jailed on flimsy charges-two weeks before Joe Hill was arrested on January 13, 1914. Until he became a radio personality in San Francisco Haywire wrote stories for magazines. Sam Eskin was a collector.. + Informações

This song is a turn of the century hobo ballad possibly inspired by a broadside ballad called "An Invitation to Lubberland", first printed in 1685. It is generally attributed to Harry McClintock (8 October 1882 - 24 April 1957), though he failed in a lawsuit when he attempted to enforce copyright. The song was first recorded by Harry McClintock (also known as Haywire Mac) in 1928, but reached a larger audience when released by Burl Ives in 1949. A version by Dorsey Burnette (1960) became a big hit, and there has been a recent revival when the McClintock recording was used in the movie, "O Brother Where Art Thou?" (2000) McClintock first sang the song as a street busker in 1897. The song originally described a child being recruited into hobo life by tales of a "big rock candy mountain". Such recruitment actually occurred, with hobos enchanting children with tales of adventure to lead them astray. The song was cleaned up considerably before McClintock recorded it, and it has since been sanitised further to make it a children's song, with all references to cigarette trees, streams of alcohol and lakes of gin and whiskey eliminated. The cigarettes were probably the last to go as in those days they were recommended by doctors as useful for calming the nerves! A variation of the song, under the title, "The Appleknocker's Lament", was collected in 1927 by the Library of Congress. The Burl Ives version of this song was one of my favourite recordings from my parents' collection of .... + Informações

He is best known for his song "Big Rock Candy Mountain", much later featured in the movie O Brother, Where Art Thou?. The song reached #1 on Billboard's "Hillbilly Hits" chart in 1939. Having worked as a cowboy himself, McClintock was one of the few "country" singers who had an authentic background from which to draw. He was included in Robert Crumb's series of "Heroes of Old Time Country Music" trading cards. en.wikipedia.org. + Informações

Harry McClintock, who recorded this song in 1926, claimed that he wrote it when he was a hobo in 1897 or 98, basing it on a Salvation Army song called "Revive Us Again." He sang the song in an army camp during the Spanish American War, where the soldiers added new verses. Other verses have been added by Carl Sandburg. McClintock is probably best known for his other hobo song, "The Big Rock Candy Mountain." This song is on the CD I made with Lew Dite - "Songs".

Recorded 1/3/1928 Accompanied by Virgil Ward on the fiddle Lyrics: As I walked out one morning for pleasure I spied a cowpuncher a ridin' along His head was throwed back and his spurs was a-jinglin' As he approached me singin' this song: (Chorus) Whoopie ti yi yo! Git along little dogies, It's your misfortune, none of my own. Whoopie ti yi yo! Git along little dogies, You know Wyoming will be your new home. Early in Spring we round up the dogies Mark 'em and brand 'em and bob off their tails Round up our horses and load the chuck wagon And then throw the dogies out on the trail. Some boys go with a trail hard for pleasure That's where they get it most awfully wrong For you haven't any idea the trouble they give us While the little dogies go rolling along. Their mother's was left away down in Texas Where the jimson weed and the sandburrs grow All that they eat was mesquite and cholla But now they are trailin' to Idaho. They'll all be soup for Uncle Sam's Injuns: "It's beef, heap beef," I hear them cry Git along, git along, git along little dogies The Injuns will get you by and by.. + Informações
