"[...] a version of Leadbelly's "Rock Island Line" [...] is probably still his best known."
- Are you sure? That's the first I've heard of it. Everyone knows "My Old Man's A Dustman", though, so are you sure that isn't his best-known song? It did, after all, reach number one in the UK charts and sell a million copies... ;) -- Oliver Pereira
- Well, Rock Island Line apparently sold three million. I do sort of agree with you, though, "...Dustman" is perhaps better known, at least in the UK (though this is very possibly not the case in the US). If you feel like changing it, then go ahead, but when I first wrote it, I'd only just heard he'd died, and didn't have the heart to blame him for "...Dustman" ;) --Camembert
