This song was on an EP called Skiffle Session by Lonnie and his group and there was another EP called Backstairs Session. REAL classic skiffle music at its greatest. I bought them 60 years ago. I've still got them and they're great. The way Lonnie could bend a note has yet to be equalled along with his range. Brilliant !

A great number by a great entertainer and a nice person.

Everything the beatles tried to be can be summed up by this recording. Song Originally by leadbelly.. and some folks before that

Does anyone know who his guitarist was during this period? He did some superb work on this, in particular on Whoa Buck (b side of Fort Worth Jail - live version was little licks to die for) yet I can’t find a credit for him anywhere.

Les Bennetts

@@Rickenbackerglory thanks mate - I can look him up now and see what else he worked on. That’s my spare time this weekend sorted👍

[@MaybeBrayDad]

@@Rickenbackerglory btw would it have been him who did the solo on Nobody Loves Like An Irishman?

[@Rickenbackerglory]

@@MaybeBrayDad No that was Jimmy Currie.

@@Rickenbackerglory thanks everso much. If you don’t mind me asking where did you find this info? I’ve got into LD after playing a lot my dad’s old records since he passed last year. He had quite a few old singles I’d not heard in years and they’re fabulous.

But his music lives on.
