Track A3, origins:
It all begins with a dead cow. Leadbelly, the blues singer, hears Sam Kennedy, the Irish singer, singing “Drimmin Down,” a traditional Irish song about a farmer and his dead cow. Lead Belly, smack in the middle of writing his own farmer/cow song (because why not?) adapts the tune and, in 1937, records it as “If It Wasn’t For Dickey.” Years later, Pete Seeger hears Lead Belly’s version, likes it, and brings it to the attention of The Weavers, a quartet of which he is a member. Having already made a hit out of Lead Belly’s “Goodnight, Irene,” The Weavers are ready, willing, and able to do the same with “If It Wasn’t For Dickey.” Seeger and fellow Weaver, Lee Hays, write new lyrics and, as proof of their songwriting prowess, turn “If It Wasn’t For Dickey,” Lead Belly’s song about a farmer and his cow, which is based on an earlier song about a different farmer and his dead cow, into “Kisses Sweeter Than Wine.” Let’s recap: Sam Kennedy first performs it, Lead Belly adapts it, Seeger and Hays rewrite it, Fred Hellerman and Ronnie Gilbert (Weaver #3 and Weaver #4) edit it, and The Weavers perform it. So who the hell are Campbell and Newman? So glad you asked. Campbell and Newman are the ANVs for Paul Campbell and Joel Newman, which are pseudonyms created by Howard S. Richmond, who was the founder and head of The Richmond Organization, one of the largest independent music publishing organizations in the world, and who had the song copyrighted in the names of his two pseudonyms where, as far as we know, it remains to this day.
