"Ida Red," before "Maybelline"
We all know that the country tune Ida Red became Chuck Berry's Maybelline in 1955. But it had made previous stops along the way--for example, as the melody for Eddie Kirk and Cliffie Stone's 1951 Freight Train Breakdown. Is this gem of a performance Western Swing? Rockabilly? Country jazz? (Or a combination of the three?) To use the UFO-documentary cliche: you decide.
