- Recorded in 1928. The Revelers were Will Gilmer on the fiddle, R.O. Mosley on the mandolin, Jim Wolverton on the banjo and Dallas Jones on the guitar. Only Wolverton was actually from Leake County, Mississippi, the rest of this string band was from Scott County, Mississippi. "Molly Put The Kettle On" is also known as "Jenny Put The Kettle On" as well as "Polly Put The Kettle On." It is an Old-Time Southern Breakdown and is believed to have been part of the African-American string band tradition.
