Dee Hicks' recording of "Cumberland Land" is included in this collection edited by Charles Wolfe. It seems to be rare. Here is a link to a copy of the original vinyl on Amazon for $250! http://www.amazon.com/Historical-Ballads-Tennessee-Valley-Folklore/dp/B00AXG2DII If anybody happens to have this album, I'd love to hear that particular song. Also, does anyone have the lyrics to Dee Hicks' version? I did find a recording of this song by Dee's younger brother, Bessford Hicks, on an album called "Gettin' Up The Stairs", put out by Sandrock Recordings: http://sandrockrecordings.com/album/gettin-up-the-stairs-traditional-music-from-the-cumberland-plateau-volume-1/
