About the artist
Unknown - "Flag Draped Coffin" b/w "Fallen King" (Plantation Records #1, Shelby Singleton's Nashville label; reissued on Omni's "Plantation Gold", 2009, where the writers are credited as Clark Bentley, Lloyd Dunlop and Don Fowler). The Twain-name credit reads as a Plantation pseudonym; no person is documented. [Source: Discogs; AllMusic]
