John L Posted June 4, 2012 Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 Interesting. Thanks. There was a lot of recycling of blues lyrics back in those days. I just realized not long ago that Leroy Carr's most famous composition "How Long, How Long Blues" is a basically a recycling of a song recorded earlier by Ida Cox of almost the same name: "How Long, Daddy, How Long." There are a number of country blues songs usually celebrated as original compositions that are actually covers of tracks recorded by the classic blues singers in the 20s.

Pete C Posted June 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2012 There's a song on Dylan's Love & Theft, Bye & Bye, whose melody is pretty much the same as a song Billie Holiday did, Having Myself a Time. www.youtube.com/watch?v=gUN636BNNys http://www.bobdylan.com/us/songs/bye-and-bye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
