But which one?🙂

Khm, there was a slight typo in the previous post... It wasn't wiredbadger24 who recorded "Suzu" for the Appalachian hills, but rather the Boy from the Hills.

I assume Dana Anderson4 and Raymond Barrett12 have never actually been to a concert by any local Appalachian band (not talking about the Cooperative here). I'd highly recommend it; those parties are ten times more fun than all those club gigs in downtown Chicago combined (no disrespect to Howe Gelb).

....my old mother went along with me just to see the land, yet she couldn't know what I was gathering in my soul or why I didn't tell her yesterday, we had too much to say to each other but then we forgot it all......

You're right. "Suza" is the original Appalachian blues. Zvonko Špišić is basically the Appalachian Lightnin' Hopkins.🙂
Personally, I think the version by Lepa Cajt is just as good. It wouldn't be bad to hear that live sometime.

But then again, there are those who are.
Don't forget about "Starting oneself in Appalachia." Some people think "Vesel" is the definitive anthem for us Hillbillies, but if you ask me, "Starting oneself in Appalachia" should have taken the top spot long ago.
And you absolutely have to include that too, my dear old Trseki.😬
