- "Five Pounds of Possum" has become a cult classic in the world of Bluegrass Music, covered by everybody from the Tennessee Mafia Jug Band to the Ridgetop Ramblers, the Moron Brothers and more. This one, however, is the original by Tim White and Troublesome Hollow. This new music video commemorates the 25th anniversary of the album "The Possum Tapes," a collection of quirky songs celebrating the animal that has long been beloved and scorned throughout the South. Written by Tim White, the describes the situation of a poor family struggling to survive. The song is from the perspective of the father who just lost his job and is trying to feed and provide for his family. As many did during the Great Depression of the 1930s, the father in the song resorts to eating possum. The album "The Possum Tapes"' is available on Amazon at www.amazon.com/Possum-Tapes-T....

I usta sing this every time we would have layoffs at work.lol
When I was a 14, I worked in a gas station with my mother. Someone came selling or asking to sell the Troublesome Hollow tapes. Of course I bought one. My mother had an Eat More Possum bumper sticker. She died in 95, listening to these songs reminds me of how much we laughed and enjoyed these songs. I’ve been listening with my 9 year old son and he loves them too. Thank y’all for 25 years of memories!
The memories are priceless.
No animals were harmed during the singing of this song.

My good buddy and I were driving down from Canada to Asheville, North Carolina in April 2000 for a mountain biking trip in the Pisgah forest.
After about 10 hours of driving, when we were somewhere in mid-Tennessee, we were listening to the radio and this classic came on. We couldn’t stop laughing, and looked everywhere for a recording - whether tape or CD, and couldn’t find it.
For years, we were looking for the song, and occasionally fell across a cover version, but this is the first time I have ever heard the original since that day 23 years ago.
I’ve just sent this over to him. Thanks boys!
boneeeee I ain’t got a job now I just got a drive now? A
