This is a great line-dance song originally recorded by Moon Mullican (1951), covered by many artists including the present and our favorite version by the American country rock band BR5-49. Their debut solo album was released in 1996, 3 singles were released from the album all of which charted on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (now Hot Country Songs) charts. "Cherokee Boogie", the first of these three, was the highest charting, reaching #44. Enjoy:
