His jug was an empty can of kerosine and the other members of his trio were Ashley Thompson (guitar) and author Noah Lewis (harmonica), Minglewood is a corruption of Noah's birthplace Mengelwood near Dyersburg, TN. There's always been a huge levee camp there, big enough for itinerant musicians to earn a few bucks, especially with a song about the place. The Jug Stompers were the oldest jug band from Memphis, older than the Memphis Jug Band. Gus Cannon was 44 when he cut this (See also: Walk Right In and Prison Wall Blues).
