thread_title: Secor quote

message: I think the current version places too much emphasis on a cover version.  I would like some other opinions before I undo another person's work, but the various subsections and quotes are not encyclopedic.  It reads like an interview/ article with Rucker.  Also, there is a more detail on the OCMS version on their page than on this particular article.  That seems odd as well.

thread_title:  Unbalanced treatment of Rucker version

message: Might be helpful to have audio samples of . .
#Big Bill Broonzy's recording that led to
#Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup's
#Dylan's “Rock me, mama” outtake
#OCMS version
#Rucker version
The OCMS page section on the song also adds some depth to the background.--Artaxerxes (talk) 18:34, 8 April 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: I agree, while it may have been better for someone to start by writing an article for O.C.M.S. (album), I think this is their most popular song and it has an interesting history with the Dylan co-write.  The article could use better sources.  CMT describes this as the band's signature song  which is one of the proposed criteria in WP:MUSIC/SONG, and they rank the album as one of the top 10 bluegrass albums of 2004.  Americana-UK ranks the album as number 18 in their 2004 year-end survey. -MrFizyx 21:18, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Notability 

message: Someone wants to include a fairly random list of bands covering this song, including bands not even rating Wikipedia articles. This is a song every bar band is doing these days; I propose limiting such a list to those bands with significant covers (chart ratings, perhaps, or reviews, or anything other than bare claims that so-and-so did this song.) (I'm glad I get paid when my band does it...but we're not listed here either.) --jpgordon::==( o ) 20:19, 4 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see an 'Other versions' section. One just pulled from lede: "The song was also remixed by the electronic duo Timeflies as a part of their Timeflies Tuesday series on Youtube." --Artaxerxes (talk) 15:16, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Lists of  covers 

message: "originally sketched" is incorrect, I think.  It is generally said (by which I mean, I've read more than one person saying this) that Bob Dylan credited Arthur Crudup for "Rock Me, Mama".  Crudup, in turn, is alleged to have said that he based his song on Big Bill Broonzy's "Rock Me Baby".  Broonzy, in turn, got the chorus from somewhere else, before such songs were recorded.  The anonymous origin of this chorus makes this folk music in the purest sense.
Here's an article giving this origin story:

replies: text: The Old Crow section on the song [] tries to lay this out. Also see Samples section above. --Artaxerxes (talk) 17:54, 20 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin 

message: "The above chorus is NOT the order of lines sung in the original Dylan version, rather it is the order that Secor used wherein he inverted the 1st set of 3 lines with the 2nd set of 3 lines."--Artaxerxes 03:45, 24 March 2017 (UTC)
