Subject: RE: Louvin Bros. song
Hey there, Callie, depends on where you are! Never thought anything about Bill Bolick's last name. He is still alive, by the way, and by all reports is a fine gentleman who always credited his sources. I have the CD in question ~~ he and his brother Earl, who died within the last year or so, recorded it about 1938. Unfortunately, the notes are not to be found at the moment, so I cannot give you his exact take on where they got it. More than likely the Louvins credited him with the version that they used, rather than actual authorship.
