From the ORIGINAL Highwaymen. Recorded on 05-05-07 at Spearfish, South Dakota.
"Michael" a traditional Georgia Sea Island spiritual, was a #1 hit for the Highwaymen in 1961 (and throughout much of the world-- their "Michael" is the most successful traditional recording by a folk group of all time). Here it is sung by the original Highwaymen (Burnett, Fisher, Trott, Butts, with Johann Helton on bass) at a recent concert (2006) in the Dakotas.
Huddie Ledbetter's (Leadbelly) "Cotton Fields" was a Top 20 hit for the Highwaymen in 1962. Here sung by the original Highwaymen (from l to r: Bob Burnett-- VP of Bank of America in RI; Dave Fisher-- professional musician; Steve Trott-- Federal Appeals Court Judge on the 9th Circuit; and Steve Butts-- retired college administrator; with bassist Johann Helton of Boise, ID). They are seen here on the 2002 PBS Special "This Land is Your Land-- the Folk Years".
