Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Whoa Back Buck (Leadbelly)
Art Podell and Paul Potash, a couple of talented Greenwich Village boys from the late '50's and early '60's, recording as "Art & Paul," did a version of this song on an early LP, "Songs of Earth and Sky," backed by Dick Rosmini on guitar. Both later performed with The New Christy Minstrels, among others. Some would argue that this version was "over-arranged," but it was a powerful song. That some of the lyrics were undecipherable didn't seem a problem - the words fit the rhythm like a glove.
