"Old Home Place" was originally written by Mitch Jayne and Dean Webb of country icons and bluegrass progenitors, The Dillards. It was originally recorded on their album, Back Porch Bluegrass (1963). The tune’s narrator regrets having chased a woman from his rural farm into the burgeoning metropolis of Charlottesville, ultimately losing both the girl and his home. Later recorded by American banjo player J. D. Crowe and The New South, released in 1975 on their self-titled album.
