LITTLE OLD LOG CABIN (DOWN/IN THE LANE). AKA and see "Cabin Down the Lane." American, Song Tune.

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.
