About this deal

The music is in a minor key, with sustained minor chords ending each phrase in the primary melody, while the melody line goes through a slow musical turn (turning of related notes) which ends each phrase, and emphasizes the ominous minor chords.

The first hit version was a 1968 recording by Don Fardon– a former member of the Sorrows– that reached number 20 on the Hot 100 in 1968 [3] and number 3 on the UK Singles Chart in 1970.

Indigenous electronic music group the Halluci Nation has sampled the song on several occasions. [31] Charles from Charlotte, NcThe song's author John Loudermilk told the syndicated radio program "American Top Forty" a tall tale about how he was taken prisoner by Cherokee Indians once, and released only after he promised to write a song dramatizing their plight. The ruse went undetected for years. Loudermilk told the fib in response to being woken up after midnight by a telephone call from one of the show's writers. Deb from Portland, OrMark Lindsay sang Indian Reservation; in fact, it was recorded as a Mark Lindsay single (he's part Cherokee) but then he released it as a Raider single when the group was pressed for a new single. Mark produced Freddy Weller's Indian Lake and somehow the confuson began.Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn April 4th 1971, "Indian Reservation" by the Raiders entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 at position #94; fifteen weeks later on July 18th, 1971 it peaked at #1 {for 1 week} and spent 22 weeks on the Top 100...

"Follow Your Drum" reached number 16 on the Australian Singles Chart in May 1972. Jeff from Long Island, NyThe organ coda is a slightly lengthened, but otherwise virtually identical version of the one in Janis Ian's "Society Child" five years earlier, but it's hard to call it plagiarism, since Artie Butler was the organist both times. Fardon is best known for his cover of the song " Indian Reservation" (1968), a UK number 3 hit and global million selling disc. He also wrote the football anthem " Belfast Boy" about George Best. Loudermilk was given songwriter credit on Indian Outlaw because a few bars of Indian Reservation are included in the later song.In spite of the song's title, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians and the Cherokee Nation of Oklahoma are not known as "reservations", [9] and singing that they may someday "return" is at odds with the fact that these Cherokee Nations still exist.
