Dear Gerard and Jack,
It is also on the 2019 the Tom Lord Jazz Discography CDR.
I did not expect it to be there, so did not bother to look. Silly me.
Come on Jack, Yank and Haggart were associates at that time.
Lawson's name did flash into my head listening to "Feudin' and Fightin'", but dismissed it aurally.
And I could not find the personnel info.
The session-mate "Goodbye, Mr Lover, Goodbye" is also worth a listen.

Unfortunately, the other tunes from the "Overalls" session, "It's The Same Old Shillelagh", "McNamara's Band" and "Dear Old Donegal" have no jazz solos.
Cheers,
Bill.
