Smithsonian Folkways Trivia!
Each month we'll ask a trivia question; email your answer, name, and address with the subject "September Trivia" to SmithsonianFolkways@si.edu by October 10, and a randomly selected entrant with the correct answer will win a free CD of his or her choice!
September Question: "Mystery Train," recorded on Sunny Day by Elizabeth Mitchell with special guest Levon Helm on drums, gained notoriety when released by Elvis Presley in 1955. The song was also performed by, among many others, The Band with Paul Butterfield in The Last Waltz concert and film. Who originally wrote and recorded the song?
Congratulations to last month's winner, Patrick, from Red Wing, MN, who correctly answered "Marty Stuart" to this question: Which artist scored a country music hit in 1992 with his version of Ola Belle Reed's "High on the Mountain"?
