Nice to hear so much more about this old song!

Tony Kraber, by the way, was one of the ones whose musical career was badly injured by Burl Ives testimony during the 1950's Red Scare/Witch Hunt days. Tony was active with The Group Theatre productions in NYC. He was good friends with Earl Robinson, Paul Robeson, and Josh White.

Tony's recording was titled Songs of the Old Chisholm Trail: Americana LP 8557.
