This arrangement of Wabash Blues is mostly based on Milton Brown’s recording, cut on January 27th, 1935 in Chicago. The tune has also been recorded by other notable artists such as Roy Acuff and the Delmore Brothers.
The song is a straightforward pop tune by Fred Meinken, with a nice harmonic surprise in the form of a flat sixth chord (C7) in the seventh measure.
