Lighter Boggy Creek (Hills of Mexico) (14) RE: Boggy Creek 12 Oct 24

Thanks much for that link.

YouTube has several excellent-to-great neo-trad renditions, some with newly added lyrics.

Most are called "The Hills of Mexico" but some are "Mexican Cowboy."

By "neo-trad" I mean in an old-time style with occasional but tasteful modern riffs and with new lyrics phrased in a believable old-time idiom.

Then there's the folk-rock version by Bob Dylan and the Band in 1967.

All these versions were ultimately inspired by Roscoe Holcomb. Without him, the song would now be virtually unknown.

Now I can't get the damn thing out of my head!
