All of the credits above are direct from the original 1976 Epic LP.[2] There has been some confusion as to certain of the album's songwriting credits over time because sites like AllMusic have incorrectly modified the credits by incorporating songs with the same titles together. For example, "Billy the Kid". "Dean" is shown as a co-writer [3]sometimes now because Billy Dean released a song with the same title in 1991. Another example is "High Lonesome", which was written by the Charlie Daniels Band. Allmusic now incorrectly cites Gretchen Peters as a co-writer[4]. This is because she wrote a song called "High Lonesome" in 1991 for Randy Travis's album, High Lonesome. Yet another case is with the song "Birmingham Blues" that Charlie Daniels wrote for their 1975 album, Nightrider. In 1977, Jeff Lynne also wrote a song called "Birmingham Blues" for his band, Electric Light Orchestra's album, Out of the Blue, and now Allmusic shows the 1975 Charlie Daniels song as being co-written by Lynne[5] (but not the other way around), which is nonsensical. But once one authoritative site publishes incorrect data, the scrapers spread it around the internet as factual.
