Wilfred Glenn and Shannon Quartet
Victor 19059 – Registered April 23, 1923
Bass Wilfred Glenn, baritone Elliott Shaw, and tenors Lewis James and Charles Hart made up the Shannon Four. Franklyn Baur later replaced Hart and the group changed its name to the Revelers in 1925. The orchestra here is conducted by Rosario Bourdon.
A very first recording of this famous cowboy song, marketed as an "educational" record by "Liberty Choir and Community Songs". Incidentally, this was also recorded on my birthday, although several years before I was born.
