Notes

The Dead recorded two versions of this song. The first was on their debut LP as New, New Minglewood Blues. The second on Shakedown Street as All New Minglewood Blues.

The history of the song is roughly as follows.

Minglewood Blues was a either a traditional song or a song written by Noah Lewis, performed by Cannon's Jug Stompers circa 1928. Similar blues songs exist.

Noah Lewis wrote a different song, New Minglewood Blues, loosely based on Minglewood Blues. This was performed by the Noah Lewis Jug Band circa 1930.

The first version played by the Dead and recorded on the first LP as New New Minglewood Blues was based on the 1930 Noah Lewis song New Minglewood Blues.

The later version played by the Dead and recorded on Shakedown Street is a reworking of their own earlier version and therefore also based on the 1930 New Minglewood Blues.

The New Minglewood Blues title is used here to indicate the provenance of both versions of the song performed by the Dead and to adhere to common usage on set lists and tapes.

Minglewood (Mengle-Wood) was supposedly a lumber camp on the Mississippi north of Memphis where travelling musicians would perform. Other interpretations of the song concentrate though on sexual innuendo rather than geography.

The name McGanahan Skjellyfetti was a psuedonym used by the Dead for group compositions. The name derives originally from a character in Kenneth Patchen's "Memoirs Of A Shy Pornographer", although the name was possibly used by the Dead because one of the band members had a cat of that name
