Big wheel run by grace of god little wheel run by faith--every time that wheel turn round bound to cover another folk song... Thank god for her wisdom to give us the folk process. W Guthrie (a favorite of mine) never set his words to "original music"--only traditional melodies. H Williams, too.
True, Marauder, but he claimed the "song" as copyrighted and says "We wrote it." Similar authorship claims were made by Robert Burns, Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, the Kingston Trio, Dan Emmett, Scottish fiddler James Skinner, Scottish fiddlers Neil and Nathaniel Gow, and many others. They would have shown more accuracy by claiming "arrangements" of the songs. They might have owned the arrangements, but not, thank God, the songs.
I swear to God it just dont get much better than this! Why is not Woody Guthrie up on Mt Rushmore!? Sonny Terry`s harp sounds great!

Woody claimed authorship? He wrote neither the words nor the music.

@uptonsavoie No, but he did make the recording, which was duly copyrighted.
