Not the first version but in my opinion this is the best. This even beats the Prairie Ramblers original which was recorded on December 6, 1933 in Chicago and released on Bluebird. The Monroe Brothers (Bill and Charlie) covered it also for Bluebird in 1938. This version heard here was recorded in New York on April 18, 1935 with Tex Atchison, fiddle; Salty Holmes, harmonica/jug/vocal; Chick Hurt, mandola/vocal and Jack Taylor, guitar/vocal. Dig that jug break!
Music straight from original 78 rpm.
