Back to Little Old Log Cabin
LITTLE OLD LOG CABIN (DOWN/IN THE LANE). Old-Time, Song Tune. "Little Old Log Cabin Down the Lane" [1] was written and published in 1871 by a Kentucky riverman turned vaudeville songwriter, Will Hayes, for the minstrel trade. It was recorded in October, 1925 for Edison by Fiddlin' Cowan Powers and Family, who had waxed an earlier version for Victor, in August, 1924 (although for that particular side the Victor company brought in Carson Robison to perform the vocal). The piece was first recorded and released in 1923, however, when Fiddlin' John Carson's (1868-1949. north Georgia) version became the second best-selling country music record for that year. Yet another performance, Ernest Stoneman's, made the charts that decade, in 1926 when his version became the fifth best-selling country music record.
