Cotton Fields
"Cotton Fields" is a song written by blues musician Huddie Ledbetter, better known as Lead Belly, who made the first recording of the song in 1940.
==Early versions==
Recorded by Lead Belly in 1940, "Cotton Fields" was introduced into the canon of folk music via its inclusion on the 1954 album release ''Odetta & Larry'' which comprised performances by Odetta at the Tin Angel nightclub in San Francisco with instrumental and vocal accompaniment by Lawrence Mohr: this version was entitled "Old Cotton Fields at Home". The song's profile was boosted via its recording by Harry Belafonte first on his 1958 album ''Belafonte Sings the Blues'' with a live version appearing on the 1959 concert album ''Belafonte at Carnegie Hall'': Belafonte had learned "Cotton Fields" from Odetta and been singing it in concert as early as 1955. A #13 hit in 1961 for The Highwaymen, "Cotton Fields" served as an album track for a number of C&W and folk-rock acts including Ferlin Husky (''The Heart and Soul of Ferlin Husky'' 1963), Buck Owens (''On the Bandstand'' 1963), the New Christy Minstrels (''Chim-Chim-Cheree'' 1965) and the Seekers (''Roving With The Seekers ''1964): Odetta also made a new studio recording of the song for her 1963 album ''One Grain of Sand''. The Springfields included "Cotton Fields" on a 1962 EP release: this version is featured on the CD ''On An Island Of Dreams: The Best Of The Springfields''. "Cotton Fields" was also recorded by Unit 4+2 for their ''Concrete and Clay'' album (1965). A rendering in French: "L'enfant do", was recorded in 1962 by Hugues Aufray and Petula Clark.
