THERE'S NO HELL IN GEORGIA. AKA and see "Hell Broke Loose in Georgia (3)," "Hellbound for Alabama." American, Reel (cut or 2/4 time). USA, Arkansas. "There's no Hell in Georgia" was recorded by Biography:Luke_Hignight's_Ozark_Strutters" in November, 1929 for Brunswick records (released on the Vocalion label in 1929). The band bears the name of harmonica and banjo player Luther Burton Hignight (sometimes Hignite, 1897-1940) whose name is properly spelled 'Hignight'. However, it appears as 'Highnight' on the record label and in a plethora of notices and publications thereafter and seems inexorably altered. He was also a member of Minton's Ozark String Band who recorded for OKeh Records in February, 1928. The Ozark Strutters consisted of Hignight (banjo and harmonica), Frank Gardner (fiddle), and Hubert Tucker (guitar).
