Folsom Prison Blues.

(Mostly about not wanting to be in the prison, but he does mention the crime that put him there)

Me and My Uncle - covered by Billy Strings

song composed by John Phillips of The Mamas and the Papas, and popularized in versions by Judy Collins and the Grateful Dead.
Above video of Billy Strings doing what Billy does best


Song Facts:
Around 1964, John Phillips began receiving publishing royalties from a song on a Judy Collins record with which he was unfamiliar. It was titled "Me And My Uncle." He called Judy to let her know of the mistake because he hadn't written any such song. Judy laughed and told him that about a year before, in Arizona after one of her concerts, they had a 'Tequila' night back at the hotel with Stephen Stills, Neil Young and a few others. They were running a blank cassette and John proceeded to write "Me and My Uncle" on the spot. The next day, John woke up to the tequila sunrise with no recollection of the songwriting incident. Judy kept the cassette from that evening and then, without informing John, recorded the song for her own record. Over the years the song was recorded by several people, and eventually became a standard of the Grateful Dead.

Thank goodness Judy Collins brought a cassette recorder that night and decided to record M&MU for her album. Performed live, this song is always great to hear in a set list, regardless of the musician.
