Gotta Travel On (1957) YouTube video by Tim Okasa

#Interestingly Country singer & ace guitarist Billy Grammer doesn’t get talked about much today, but in 1958 he cut “Gotta Travel On,” the old folk song that had been reshaped in the ‘50s by writers like Paul Clayton and members of The Weavers. #BillyGrammer #TheWeavers #OneHitWondered

"Gotta Travel On" is an American #folksong. The earliest known version was printed in #CarlSandburg's #TheAmericanSongbag in 1927 under the title "Yonder Comes the High Sheriff" and several variations were recorded in the 1920s, but the best known version is credited to #PaulClayton, #TheWeavers.

The Weavers were an influential folk-singing group that was blacklisted in the early 1950s during a period of widespread anti-communist hysteria. The original members were Pete Seeger, Lee Hays, Ronnie Gilbert, and Fred Hellerman. vintageadguy.com/opencart/ind... #theweavers
