*"My Little Old Home Down in New Orleans" was written by Jimmie Rodgers.

Composed by the famous American country singer/guitarist and songwriter Jimmie Rodgers, "The Singing Brakeman", this recording by "Tal Henry & His North Carolinians" transforms a simple folk ballad into a complex modern hot dance masterpiece.

Perfectly executed, at times Tal's arrangement for this number bears a strong similarly to "Darktown Strutters' Ball" published by Shelton Brooks in 1917.
