Never knew thjis group before, but they are interesting. maybe they can do some justice to other tunes, but they are not owning this tune. I have found a new way to discover artists i know nothing about. Simply find out haowe many people covered a popular classic tune.

Correction! Apologies! I decided to do a little research on the 1972 release, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and discovered that Doc Watson and not Roy Acuff, as I had thought, sings the lead on "Tennessee Stud". Sorry, Doc ! Interestingly, the verse about the "Indian braves" and their "nags" is also left out in this rendition too. This famous 3 record album was re-released as a 2 disc CD in 2002. You'll find Doc in fine voice singing about his green-eyed Tennessee on track 7, Disc 1. Pure genius

Doc's version is certainly a fine one, but the best, in my opinion, is one found on the old Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Friends album, "Will The Circle Be Unbroken". The lead is sung by one of the "friends", Roy Acuff, I believe. The musicianship, particularly the fine fiddle playing of Vassar Clements, is just superb. I don't remember a lovemaking scene on the cabin floor, but the song does speak about a "pretty little baby on the cabin floor" - the result of the lovemaking, I must assume ....

The real song is way better. He duels The Gambler, he taunts an indian band, he wins gold from the spaniards, he whips his sweetheart's pa and brother, then he gets the girl with the golden hair and they make love on the cabin floor.
There's a jazz version by Dave Christianson released 2008.

Well about 20% of the song is there....Damn PCness they wreck everything... how old is this song? Whats wrong with enjoying the original for its craft.
