"I first heard this tune in a local Dance Hall and Saloon here in San Diego where I come to unwind and dance. But when this song came on, the dance floor filled up with dancers like a swarm of bees coming back to the hive. I had to make my way onto the dance floor, it was the best tune I ever danced to, I just had to have if for myself. Isaac really made the mark when he recorded this one."
Authentic!

"I could never pass a honkey tonk and the Winchester Club was on my way home. I have heard Ikey and the Sweat Band play these songs live live, I have the vinyl, the CD and have had the pleasure of dancing to the recorded version of the Cotten Eyed Joe in bars from Texas to Ireland to Australia. Ikey always folowed the Cotton Eyed Joe with the Schottische and I always feel something is mising when they are not played together.
If you are looking for an authentic version of the Cotton Eyed Joe - this is it. It is also a pretty decent recreation of the Sweat Band's nightly sets at the Winchester Club.
I'll keep looking for an hoenst bowl of red. In the meantime - allons dancez!"
