   Does anyone out there know who originally wrote and recorded "Wreck on
 the Highway"?  I understand it was credited to Acuff-Rose, but the original
 author was someone else.  What is the first known recording of this song?  

Written by Dorsey Dixon, based on a true event, and recorded by the Dixon
Brothers in approx. 1936.

I forgot to mention that the Dixon Brothers recordings have been reissued on four 
LPs/cassettes by Old Homestead Records in Brighton, MI.  Good stuff.
