From a 1995 Goldmine article on Randy Newman:
"Twenty Acres" an ultra-rare one-shot covered by Johnny Shepard, ambles along to a pleasant acoustic guitar riff over which Johnny sings of returning to a sharecropper's shack in the Mississippi Valley to reclaim a sugar cane crop abandoned twenty years before. Hardly the stuff of top 40 singles, this unique cover promptly sank without a trace. Curiously, a 1963 blurb in a Tinseltown gossip column by Sidney Skolsky proclaimed that Alfred Newman's 19-year old nephew, "still a student at UCLA," was about to sing this song for Pat Boone's Cooga-Mooga Enterprises.
