Earl Jim Kweskin of jugband fame.: (51* d) RE: Jim Kweskin of jugband fame.: 07 Dec 98


As far as I know, Jim Kweskin didn't write songs, or at least did not record them. "Wild About My Lovin'" was written by Jim Jackson, a Memphis musician who recorded in the 1930's (he also wrote "Grizzley Bear" which was covered by the Youngbloods in the 60's.) A lot of Kweskin's Jug Band material came from The Memphis Jug Band and Gus Cannon's Jug Stompers, two great Jug Bands from the 30's.

Another great verion of "Amelia Earhart's Last Flight" was recorded by the Dirdy Birdies Jug Band. They are a New Jersey jug band who have been together since 1965 and worth checking out.
