Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Goin' Back to the Blue Ridge Mountains
Joe, I should have mentioned that the reason for the pseudonym was that, when the Delmores first recorded for King Records, they had been under contract to Sylvester Cross of American Music in Hollywood. Syd Nathan, the owner of King, wanted the publishing rights for his company, Lois, and the Delmores solved the problem by publishing their early King sides under pen names. [Information from Charles Wolfe in liner notes to County CCS-110].
