Topics: country, 1920's, old time, 78rpm, Bill from Ellerslie's record collection

Columbia 15145-D... Recorded on April 1, 1927, in Atlanta, a re-record of Tanner's 1925 Paramount record. Arthur Tanner was the brother of Gid Tanner. The Corn Shuckers were actually Columbia records session players, including members of his brother's band, The Skillet Lickers. The song is a rather lurid murder ballad, a confession sung in the first person.
