The British Library needs a precise title. eg I was looking for a song called HOME and the Mudcat folks came up with "H. O. M. E." as the search term! Best of luck. |

From: Jim Dixon Here, at the Internet Archive, is a bootleg (I think) recording of a performance by Justin Townes Earle in which he sings a song called (according to the track list) "Ashes in My Dreams" attributed to Mance Lipscomb. However, when he sings, it sounds like he might be saying: "I says, in my dreams, I hear my doorbell ring"--which actually makes more sense. I can't confirm that the attribution to Mance Lipscomb is correct. |
