Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from December 8, 2023 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions  In The Jailhouse Now   Favoriting 1964  "This song is usually credited to Jimmie Rodgers, although it dates back earlier than that. It was one of the most poular songs among black medicine and minstrel show entertainers, and first seems to have been recorded by Whistler and his Jug Band in 1924." - Whitegum.org

the company that released it doesn't seem to be active, though mostly curious about the recording that they adapted this version from.

About the original performer, David McCarn, and his recordings.
www.oldhatrecords.com...
It is speculated that McCarn adapted his song from an earlier "'Leven Cent Cotton, Forty Cent Meat" recorded by a few different artists
www.discogs.com...
en.wikipedia.org...

Mr Eli's version is a pretty snappy post 2000 update.

Thanks again, MHLee.
