12-stringer Tune Req: Woody's tune sources (21) RE: Tune Req: Woody's tune sources 28 Jan 13


Philadelphia Lawyer = Jealous Lover/Pearl Bryan

Hobo's Lullaby = written by Goebel Reeves, not WG

Dust Bowl Refugee = sounds just like Low and Lonely, but, curiously, recorded a couple of years earlier than the Acuff hit (did Fred Rose lift the melody from WG, or are both knocking off an earlier source?).

Jackhammer Blues (or Jackhammer John) and Big City Ways = Browns Ferry Blues (Alton Delmore)

Lindbergh = White House Blues

From Baltimore to Washington = Cannon Ball Blues (Carter Family)

Grand Coulee Dam/Farmer Labor Train = Wabash Cannonball

New York Town = One Dime Blues (Blind Lemon Jefferson), though it's more a cover than a new composition

Reckless Talk = Careless Love
