Hangman Jury
"Hangman Jury" is a song by American hard rock band Aerosmith. It was released as a promotional single in 1987 on the album ''Permanent Vacation''. It was written by lead singer Steven Tyler, guitarist Joe Perry, and outside collaborator Jim Vallance.
==Background==
"Hangman Jury" is a re-working of an old blues song, used by numerous artists over the years, particularly Lead Belly and Taj Mahal. The chant it was based on was the refrain, "whoa boy, dontcha line the track-a-lack-a", which is often called "Linin' Track" or "Line 'Em". A similar chant was used in "Poor Boy Boogie" by Mac Davis. Joe Perry added the acoustic guitar, and Tyler re-worked the song, building it around the refrain, adding original verses of his own. Tyler and Perry had the song mostly completed when they worked with Vallance on the song in the spring of 1987.
Tyler received permission from Taj Mahal to use the refrain (thinking he wrote it), however he did not receive permission from Lead Belly. Tyler felt that the song was a classic American chant dating back to the days of slavery and that it was in the public domain, meaning nobody actually owned it. However, after Lead Belly recorded it, he claimed ownership of the song. Subsequently, Lead Belly's estate sued Aerosmith about a year after "Hangman Jury" was released.
