Parallel Anthology Track 61

Track 61: Richard (Rabbit) Brown - James Alley Blues  Victor 20578-A; Recorded in New Orleans, Louisiana, 11.3.1927

Record label assigns authorship to "R Brown", as do the notes in Harry Smith's Anthology booklet, while victor.library.ucsb.edu credits "Richard 'Rabbit' Brown". However, www.78discography.com does not assign authorship.

According to wikipedia, Brown died in 1937.

Thus this composition has been public domain since 1st January 2008.
