[78-L] Swingin' Shepherd Blues

[Julian Vein]

Just been playing bassist Jimmy Woode's Argo LP-630 ("The Colorful 
Strings Of Jimmy Woode"), recorded September 2, 1957. The tune "The Man 
 From Potter's Crossing" sounds very much like "Swingin' Shepherd 
Blues", credited to Woode. Moe Koffman's version on Jubilee was recorded 
February 7, 1957.

It was a big hit, so I wonder how Woode managed to get away with this?

Incidentally, Lord 10.0 shows guitarist Johnny Smith having recorded 
this in 1955, but the discography accompanying the Mosaic set shows 
early 1958.
