Old Lady & The Devil - Bill & Belle Reed

Bill & Belle Reed made just three recordings, the results of one session for Columbia recorded in 1928 in Johnson City, Tennessee. Despite the lack of material, the couple's "Old Lady and the Devil" was compiled onto Harry Smith's 1952 folksong collection Anthology of American Folk Music.

'You Shall Be Free' was probably the blueprint for Woody Guthrie's 'We Shall Be Free', which Bob Dylan updated in 1962 with 'I Shall Be Free, & released on the Freewheelin' Bob Dylan LP.
