It was released as the B-side of his 'Wayward Angel', and Billboard magazine did not think much of it ('the chanter tells of the sufferings of the Cherokees after they were forced onto the reservation; flip appears stronger'). Loudermilk later reshuffled some lyrics and released it in the mid 1960s as 'The Lament Of The Cherokee Reservation Indian', which was shortened later to 'Indian Reservation' by Don Fardon scoring a worldwide hit. The Raiders (vocal Mark Lindsay) copied it for the US market of Pale Faced Indian A well-known story is that when Loudermilk was asked by American Top 40 radio show about the story behind the Raider's hit Indian Reservation, he concocted a tale that he wrote the song after crashing his car in a blizzard and being kidnapped by Cherokee Indians. He claimed that they tortured him for days and only let him go after he promised to write a song about their plight. DJ Casey Kasem ran the story about four times and called it the 'one of the most incredible stories we've ever told on AT40' The song has not only been used by American and Canadian Indians as a protest song.
