Shawnee, Oklahoma

**Song:** *Shawnee Town* **Popularized by:** The Delmore Brothers **Written by:** Alton Delmore and Rabon Delmore A 1940s country oldie that turns the Oklahoma town into a vivid small-town portrait, with the Delmore Brothers' close-harmony style giving it a rough-edged, rootsy charm. The song is a fine example of the brothers' knack for writing place-based material that felt local, specific, and memorable.
