Jimmy Jimmie Driftwood: American folk music songwriter and musician, most famous for his songs The Battle of New Orleans and Tennessee Stud. The Battle of New Orleans. Jimmy Driftwood was an interesting character and a prolific songwriter. It is worth a Google search even if you don't care for his music.

All the tracks on this album are different versions of Driftwood's most famous recordings.
