Notes and Quotes: "Cumberland Gap"
Donegan-Wright
Denny Wright (guitar), Lonnie Donegan, Pete Appleby (drums), & Pete Huggett (bass)
One of the most interesting aspects of this recording is the juxtaposition of Donegan's folksy rendition of a country song with Denny Wright's attempt at a rockabilly guitar solo. The solo in itself is not spectacular; but the attempt is credible for a style not well known outside of the US.
About the only part of the original text that Donegan retains is the refrain (and then, not much of it).
