Newest 100 Clawhammer and Old-Time Songs banjo songs which Banjo Hangout members have uploaded to the website.
In 1935 the Mississippi Sheiks recorded this jazzy piece and 90 years later I'm playing it on clawhammer banjo. It's the Tune of the Week, so go to the thread if you want to learn more about its history.
This tune comes from fiddler Buddy Thomas (1934-1974) of Lewis County, Kentucky, who learned it from Ohio fiddler Morris Allen. Jeff Titon notes the A part's close similarity with the English dance tune The Rose Tree.
The Carter Family first presented this iconic song to the world of country music. These lyrics came from Carlene Carter, daughter of June and Johnny Cash. The 3/4 timing for the verses was my idea.
Tippy Get You Hair Cut (Melvin Wine, fiddle GDAD and Carl Baron, banjo gDGDE) was recorded from an over the air public radio broadcast of the 1977 Chicago Folk Festival.
Eck Robertson, Arkansas fiddler with a phenomenal recording history, played multiple versions of the commonly known old-time tune Sally Goodin. Check out the Tune of the Week link for an interesting story. I play just a few of his variations, plus add my own at the very end.
An upbeat tune, sounds to me like a horse that rears up in great spirit and power. This arrangement is first arranged from the source recording, Oklahoman fiddler George Mert Reeves, and then from Kerry Blech (1947-2023), wonderful collector, scholar and player of fiddle tunes.
