Friday Night Cat Fight Podcast
Stagger Lee (Stack O Lee)
This week, a true story (Lee Shelton shot Billy Lyons in 1895) comes to life in song. I’ve been wanting to do a Friday Night Cat Fight on “Stagger Lee” or “Stack O Lee” for a very long time.
The story comes to life in the form of the Delta Blues of Furry Lewis and Mississippi John Hurt, the New Orleans R&B of Archibald and Lloyd Price (who’s version topped both the R&B and pop charts) and many others along the way. Listen to the podcast and then VOTE for your favorite version of “Stagger Lee” .
