Alan Lomax: Jack the Rabbit (track-lining song) (1969)
Posted in honor of Alan Lomax's 107th birthday, January 31, 2022. In April 1969, he gave a lecture and performance in Texas City, Texas, which included this spirited "Jack the Rabbit," a song based on track-lining chants by A.B. Hicks and others which he had recorded with Zora Neale Hurston in her hometown of Eatonville, Florida, in 1935.
