JIMMY DRIFTWOOD COLLECTION

M98-02

             Jimmy Driftwood was born James C. Morris on June 20, 1907, in a log cabin in Richwood, Arkansas.  He attended Mountain View High School and taught grades 1-8 before receiving his college diploma.

            In 1933 Jimmy (he also spelled his name Jimmie on occasion) attended John Brown College for one year, but later received his teaching degree from Arkansas State Teachers College (now the University of Central Arkansas) in Conway.  After receiving his degree in 1948 he accepted a job with a company that specialized in teaching students how to read.  He soon relocated to Louisiana.

            Prior to moving to Louisiana he had written a song about the Battle of New Orleans of 1812.  This song was written to help his sixth grade students remember the facts of the battle.  Jimmy simply put the facts of the conflict into a poem and his students memorized the song and thus could then recall the facts of the battle.  The song was soon picked up by Johnny Horton who turned it into a gold record.  Jimmy won a Grammy award fro Battle of New Orleans, Tennessee Stud, Wilderness Road, Songs of Billy Yank and Johnny Reb.

            Jimmy died in July of 1998 followed by his wife Cleda in 2004.  They had four children, but two died during childhood, and the two older boys died in what many think was a murder-suicide event.

            Jimmy is credited with writing several hundred songs.  Most of which are now on file here in the UCA Archives.
