Glen Campbell The Collins Kids Lil Liza Jane ( Star Route 1964 LIVE ) NEW
Li l Liza Jane, is a song dating back at least to the 1910s. It has become a perennial standard both as a song and an instrumental in traditional jazz, folk music, and bluegrass, and versions have repeatedly appeared in other genres including rock and roll. Here Glen Campbell The Collins Kids seem to add some killer guitar rock to a southern singalong, like a heavy duty barn dance, lol. ;) The song s origins, however, seem to go back even earlier. Lucy Thurston remembered a song with the refrain Ohoooooooo lil Liza, lil Liza Jane being sung by slaves in the area of Covington, Louisiana before the American Civil War. While the melody is not preserved in the written interview, the lyrics and their rhythm strongly suggest it was the same or very similar to the song published decades later.
