Infos
How Can You Keep Moving (Unless You Migrate Too)(Agnes Cunningham) Written by the founder of Broadside, recorded by the New Lost City Ramblers ['59, Songs of the Depression, "Keep Moving," Smithsonian Folkways FA 5264].
Billy the Kid (traditional; actually, Re. Andrew Jenkins. '27; adapted by Cooder) Commemorating William H. Bonner, killed in 1881; recorded several times in 1927 by Vernon Dalhart [Brunswick 3469, Okeh 45102, Columbia 1513-D, Victor 20966]; later recordings by Sons of the Pioneers ['38, "Billie the Kid" Vocalion 04136], Bill Bender ['39, Elite X17], Woody Guthrie [1944 outtake], Woody Guthrie & Cisco Houston [rec. between '44 and '47, released on Cowboy Songs, Stinson 10" LP SLP-32], and Marty Robbins ['59, Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs, Columbia 1349]. There's a version on the '45 Capitol album Children's Songs and Stories by Cowboy Tex Ritter; this album was so important to Ry's producer Jim Dickinson that he modeled one of his own LPs (Free Beer Tomorrow) after it. Cooder said he learned this song from a record by folksinger Sam Hinton, but there is no evidence of a recording. I think Ry is misremembering here. Hinton does several songs on the 1960 RCA 'concept album' album How The West Was Won, which does include "Billy the Kid", but it's sung there by the great historical storyteller Jimmy Driftwood.
Money Honey (Stone) 1953 R&B hit by Clyde McPhatter and the Drifters [Atlantic 45-1006] Covered by Elvis Presley ['56, RCA Victor EPA-821]
F.D.R. in Trinidad (Fitz Maclean) Popular calypso recorded in 1936 (?) by several Trinidadians, most notably Attila the Hun (Raymond Quevedo) as "Roosevelt in Trinidad"
Teardrops Will Fall (Dickey Doo & Marion Smith) Dickey Doo & the Don'ts ['59, Swan 4025], Wilson Pickett ['65, Atlantic LP In The Midnight Hour].
Denomination Blues (Washington Phillips) Two-part recording by Washington Phillips ['27, Columbia 14333]
On a Monday (Huddie Ledbetter) Leadbelly ['43, Asch 343-3]
Hey Porter (Johnny Cash) Johnny Cash ['55, Sun 221]
Great Dream from Heaven (Joseph Spence) From the 1966 LP The Real Bahamas in Music and Song [Nonesuch H-2013], sung by the Pindar Family and Joseph Spence.
Taxes on the Farmer Feeds Us All (traditional) By Fiddlin' John Carson ['34, Bluebird B-5742; "The Farmer Is the Man That Feeds Them All" is from '23, Okeh 40071], covered by the New Lost City Ramblers ['59, Songs of the Depression, Smithsonian Folkways FA 5264].
Vigilante Man (Woodie Guthrie). Inspired by the film Grapes of Wrath, adapting a Carter Family melody "Sad and Lonesome Day," Woody wrote this for Dust Bowl Ballads ['40, Victor single 26624, album P28 - Dust Bowl Ballads - Vol. 2]
