Thread Name: Lyr Req/Add: Been All Around This World
Subject: RE: Been All Around This World
"The song itself may have not been all around this world, but it certainly has been all around the American South, from the North Carolna Piedmont, to the Mississippi to the Blue Ridge to the Ozarks."
And out to California with the 'Dust Bowl' recording! But then I suppose the Dead actually did bring the song all around the world. I'm not aware of any commercial recordings from the 1920s and 1930s, which surprises me a little. Interesting to think what Jimmy Rodgers might have done with it.
