I recorded Whoa Back Buck on my first Folk Legacy album. It wasn't meant to be a copy of Lonnie's version and I added a verse I picked up from Dave Van Ronk, but I added a vocal aside, "That's a dance" after Sugar on the Gourd, just a Lonnie did on his recording. It was part of the song for me.

I've tried to do Old Riley for yearzs but could never do it justice.

I would think that Lonnie would like people to do their own interpretations of the songs he reecorded and make them their own. He certainly did.
