“Mule Skinner Blues” - The Fendermen
Originally titled “Blue Yodel #8,” this classic country 12-bar blues song was composed and recorded in 1930 by Jimmie Rodgers. Some versions credit a second author, George Vaughn; this is a pseudonym of Vaughn Horton, who wrote new lyrics for the song when Bill Monroe did his second recording of it. It has been recorded by many different artists in the decades since. This version, by the Fendermen, was recorded in 1960 and is my favorite rendition.
A muleskinner is a person who drives mules, typically as pack animals.
