Although it is indeed possible, if not likely, that country or hillbilly performers had been recorded earlier, these sessions with Texas fiddler Eck Robertson are the earliest documented recording sessions of a country performer. The recordings were not released until about a year later. "Sally Gooden" is another ubiquitous old-time fiddle tune that is rivalled only by "Soldier's Joy" in popularity.</p> </div> </div></div> Eck Robertson Sally Gooden fiddle 78rpm instrumental vintage Tue, 31 Jan 2006 00:11:47 -0500 Forrest Oliphant 12 at http://folktunes.org
