The Bently Boys version of 'Penny's Farm' was first reissued as selection 25 on Vol 1 of Harry Smith's 'Anthology'. Their identities are unknown, but they are thought to be possibly from North Carolina. Evidently, Frank Walker, the producer of their recording session in 1929, couldn't remember anything about them. Gid Tanner and Riley Puckett also recorded it as 'On Tanner's Farm'.
