Most people know Harlan Howard by the songs he's penned
- more than 4,000 of them. In a career spanning more than
six decades, the "Dean of Nashville Songwriters" has imbued
himself as one of the greatest - and most prolific – living
songwriters. One critic daringly dubbed him the "Irving
Berlin of Country" because of the number of classics he has
added to the annals of country music.
More than 100 of his self-penned tunes have hit the top ten
and his compositions have become chart-toppers for artists
as diverse as Patsy Cli More...
Review about Harlan Howard Missing lines | Reviewer: Ken Klosterhaus
------ About the song Everglades performed by Harlan Howard
My older brother has/had this record and I listened a lot in my yout'. I just recall several lines a little differently, but I cain't prove it. I.e.,
I believe "Possy" is "posse", a group of deputized people acting under the direction of local law enforcement; therefore, `they' or 'it' came out, not 'he'.
Gramatically, even with the rhetorical coloration, would be 'eye for an eye', not 'a eye'.
I recall a more folksy "a'movin' and a'runnin'" with the letter 'a' added, and defence, in America, is spelled with an 's', the 'c' is the British spelling. And I don't remember repetition of the "jury had ruled..." line.
However, I recall a fade out with lines such as;
"runnin' like a dog through the Everglades...
skippin' through the bog like a slimey frog...
and then fade out......
This is about to cause a confrontation in the little group I jam with. I need an answer to this [with documentation if possible]. Who was the first artist to record "I Don't I'll Fall In Love Today?" I was a partime dj back in '62 and I remember playing this song every day, but I can't remember the artist. [I am 65 almost 66.]
Harlan Howard wrote some great songs. This is only one of them.
