The Walkers There's No More Corn On The Brasos (Edição HB 2016)

The Walkers (1963 - 1989) were a Dutch folk and country band from Maastricht in the province of Limburg, in the Netherlands, who are now best remembered for There's No More Corn On The Brasos, (abbreviated to There's No More Corn on some releases).
The Walkers were founded by Jean Innemee (bass guitarist, vocals), and comprised of Maddy Bleize (drums, vocals), Leo Steinbusch (trumpet, guitar, bass-guitar), Conny Peters (sax, keyboards, flute, clarinet) and Adri Coenen (guitar). The group metamorphosed from his band, the The Mosam Skiffle Group. Jean Innemee also founded the band, Carboon. From 1973, The Walkers included his brother, René Innemee (guitar, vocals).
As a prolific writer, Jean Innemee wrote songs in a number of styles, languages and dialects some of which were performed abroad. The English language song There's No More Corn On The Brasos, as sung by The Walkers, sold over a million copies. Official Website: www.thewalkers.nl
Jean died in 2007 but his brother, René Innemee, is still an active musician who leads his own country band, René Innemee & The Revival Band.
Ain't No More Cane on This Brazos" is a traditional prison work song of the Southern United States. The title refers to work assigned to prisoners sentenced to hard labor in Texas – to cut sugar cane along the banks of the Brazos River, where many of the state's prison farms were located in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.

It has been recorded by Alan Lomax on his 1958 recording Texas Folk Songs Sung by Alan Lomax as "Ain't No More Cane on This Brazis", Odetta, Lonnie Donegan, the Limeliters on their album 14 14K Folksongs (1963), Son Volt on the album A Retrospective: 1995-2000, and The Band on the album The Basement Tapes. Bob Dylan also performed the song live in the early 1960s[1] and his version is on multiple bootleg recordings taken from The Gaslight Cafe. An extensive set of lyrics to the song, as sung by inmates of Central State Farm near Houston, Texas, appears in folklorist John Lomax's book American Ballads and Folk Songs, originally published in 1934. Lomax collected another version of the song in a recording of a performance by Ernest Williams and James (Iron Head) Baker; the recording appears on the Document Records album Field Recordings, Vol. 6: Texas (1933-1958).
