Chanteur
Country US né le 1er Avril 1883 à Waxahachie (Texas), Jules
Vern Allen est décédé le 10 Juillet 1945.
Jules
Verne Allen was one of a handful of authentic and documented cowboy singers and
writers -- along with Carl T. Sprague
-- who lived the life that his songs dealt with. He also learned those songs
before radio and records carried them to the world, when they were still part of
an oral tradition. A cowboy from the age of ten, and a participant in cattle
drives until the end of the first decade of the new century, Allen began singing
as an amateur for the pleasure of his fellow cowboys.
After a stint in law enforcement, including a possible period as a Texas Ranger,
and service in the army during World War I, he began working as a professional
singer in the 1920s and was appearing on radio in Dallas, San Antonio, and Los
Angeles by the end of the decade, sometimes under various pseudonyms, including
Longhorn Luke. Allen began cutting music for Victor starting in 1928, and
cut a total of a dozen sides for the company that year and the next. He cut what
were among the earliest known versions of "The Cowboy's Dream," "Home on the
Range," and "Days of Forty-Nine." His recording of "The Dying Cowboy," more
familiar as "Oh Bury Me Not on the Lone Prairie," is one of the more notable
authentic oral tradition-derived versions of a song dating, in that form, at
least since the 1830s.
Allen was also a composer and writer in his own right, and published Cowboy
Lore, a collection of three dozen songs accompanied by details about cowboy
life, in 1933 -- it has been reprinted several times, most recently in 1971,
some 26 years after his death.
