ROCKY ROAD TO DINAH'S HOUSE. Old-Time, Breakdown and Song. The tune was recorded in August, 1924, by Fiddlin' Cowan Powers (1877-1953) and his family band, from Russel County, southwest Va., for Victor Records, however, the side was not issued by the company. It was issued after the family [1] (Cowan Powers, fiddle; Orpha Powers, mandolin; Carrie Powers, guitar; and Ada Powers, ukelele) re-recorded the song in New York (actually East Orange, New Jersey) for rival Edison Records on October, 7th, 1925. Musicologist Gus Meade grouped the tune with "Fly Around my Pretty Little Miss" (Skillet Licker's version), "Georgia Wagner," and Fiddlin' John Carson's "Mammy's Nanny Goat."
