Darlin' Coryとは 意味・読み方・使い方

"Darlin' Cory (or Darling Corey)" (Roud 5723) is a well-known folk song about a banjo-picking, moonshine-making mountain woman. The first known recording of it was by Clarence Gill as "Little Corey" on 6 January 1927, but it was rejected by the record company and never released. A few months later, folk singer Buell Kazee recorded it as "Darling Cora" on 20 April 1927 (Brunswick 154). Later the same year, it was recorded by B. F. Shelton as "Darlin' Cora" on 29 July 1927 (Victor 35838). Other early recordings are "Little Lulie" by Dick Justice (1929) and "Darling Corey" (released as a single) by the Monroe Brothers in 1936. In 1941, The Monroes' version was included in a landmark compilation, Smoky Mountain Ballads (produced and annotated by John A. Lomax) on Victor Records, of ten recent commercially-issued hillbilly recordings (including, in addition to the Monroe Brothers, ones by the Carter Family, Uncle Dave Macon, Mainer's Mountaineers, and other Southeastern performers). That same year on May 28 Burl Ives also recorded it in his debut album Okeh Presents the Wayfaring Stranger (issued August 1941 with liner notes by Alan Lomax). Since then, many artists have recorded it, including:

• Roscoe Holcomb
• John Hartford (as "Dig a Hole" on Steam Powered Aereo-Takes, 1971)
