WILDWOOD WEED (Don Bowman) Â ![]()
 One of the songs, "Wildwood Flower" has perhaps the loveliest melody in all of country music.  At the time, I knew the song only by reputation, and mainly because of "Wildwood Weed" (1974) – which is basically about marijuana – a #7 hit song by Jim Stafford that mentions the song:  "The name of this song is 'The Wildwood Flower' / Now 'The Wildwood Flower' is an old country classic / It gained a whole new popularity / The song isn't any more popular / But the flower is doin' real good".  The song "Wildwood Weed" was written and originally recorded way back in 1964 by country singer and comedian Don Bowman.  (February 2015)  |
