abstract
  • %22Indian Reservation (The Lament of the Cherokee Reservation Indian)%22 is a song written by John D. Loudermilk. It was first recorded in 1959 by Marvin Rainwater and released as %22The Pale Faced Indian%22. Rainwater's MGM release stayed unnoticed. The first hit version was a 1968 cover by Don Fardon, a former member of The Sorrows, that reached #20 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and #3 on the UK Singles Chart.In 1971 Paul Revere & the Raiders recorded the song. This recording was released on the Columbia Records label and became #1 on the U.S. chart on July 24. The RIAA gold certification followed on 30 June 1971, for selling over a million copies. It was later certified platinum for selling an additional million copies.The UK punk band, 999, released a cover version on 14 November 1981 on the Albion Ion label, and it reached #51 in the UK chart. The song was later further covered by the Orlando Riva Sound.Billy Thunderkloud & the Chieftones covered the song in 1976 for Polydor Records, taking their version to number 74 on Hot Country Songs.The song is also covered as %22National Reservation%22 by the Slovenian martial industrial group Laibach on their 1994 album NATO, replacing %22Cherokee%22 in several places with %22Eastern%22, in the context of the end of the Cold War and influx of capitalism in eastern Europe (and thus changing the context of %22we're still a redman deep inside%22 to that of communism).A 1994 country song by Tim McGraw, %22Indian Outlaw%22, ends with part of the main %22Cherokee people%22 chorus from %22Indian Reservation%22. The live version also uses the full chorus near the end of the song.In 2015 the song was recorded by the popular Chicago area band ALTER EGO which featured the first-ever lead vocal of the song by a female singer. The band released the song online for digital download.
