1. Roscoe Holcombe?

1940?

Mr Holcombe was nothing but a copy cat, keep trying.

Mr Holcombe was nothing but a copy cat, keep trying.

I have versions of the song by:
The Animals
Be Good Tanyas
Bob Dylan
Roscoe Holcombe
Josh White.

And I know it isn't any of them. But doing a bit of research it seems the Animals saw Josh White perform it which made them do their version. So I think making him my first answer deserves half a point. :icon_wink

Will I get any more points by saying it's my mum's favourite record and she regularly goes to see The Animals live?

Correct and in the style of QI, I'll give a point for knowing that, but there was an original recording of it.
