Tommy Jackson - Dot Records

Here is a collection fiddle tunes from my Dot 78s of Tommy Jackson, the famous Nashville fiddler/studio musician. These are some the cleanest sounding 78s that I've ever heard. I find it interesting that he recorded both Katy Hill and Sally Johnson, because these tunes are viewed as the same tune by most fiddlers. Take note of the subtle differences.



Sally Johnson
Katy Hill
Wake Up Susan
When the Leaves Begin to Turn Brown
Rickett's Hornpipe
Here and There
Sally Ann
Whistling Rufus
Golden Slippers
Eighth of January
Stony Point
Trouble Among the Yearlings
Uncle Joe
Cripple Creek
Rachel
Ricestrow (Rye Straw)

Charlie Monroe - Starday LPs

Here are two LPs that Charlie Monroe recorded during his retirement from the music industry. The first LP, Charlie Monroe Sings Again, was recorded somewhere around 1960 for Bob Mooney at REM Records. The second LP, Lord Build Me a Cabin, I assume was recorded at about the same time, but I'm not sure about this. In fact, I have no concrete information on the latter LP. I assume also that the personnel is the same on both records.

Charlie Monroe - guitar, vocal
J.D. Crowe - banjo
Bob Joslin - fiddle
Ed Stacey - bass
Kenny Whalen - electric guitar

This is a fabulous 78 by Mattie, Marthie, and Minnie: The Amburgey Sisters - Opal, Irene, and Bertha. Irene is more well known to the public as Martha Carson. This record seems to have been recorded around 1952 or so.

The Robinson Trio

I have no clue who the Robinson Trio is, but I really like their singing. This record was issued on the North Wilkesboro, NC Blue Ridge Records label owned by Drusilla Adams. There has been a lot of great music that came from this label. My copy of this record is in mint condition except for a hairline crack, so please beware that there is a light click on both sides here.
