'''BRICKYARD JOE [1]'''.  Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; northeast and central Kentucky (as per Titon), Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Christeson, Brody): AABBA'A'BB (Phillips). The tune is closely related in one part to "Martha Campbell." It is on Charlie Walden's list of '100 essential Missouri fiddle tunes'. Jeff Titon (2001) notes the low part of this tune is related to the high strain of "Martha Campbell." He finds the title in Kentucky fiddlers' tune lists from the year 1915, kept at Berea College. Early recordings are by Doc Roberts (Ky.) in 1928, and Captain McKinney (Texas) in 1929. "The Dead Slave," another Missouri fiddle tune, has a similar first strain, while fiddler Pete McMahon's (Missouri) "Fiddler's Hoedown" has a 'B' part that is similar to the 'A' part of "Brickyard Joe" (Beisswenger & McCann).

BRICKYARD JOE [1]. Old-Time, Breakdown. USA; northeast and central Kentucky (as per Titon), Missouri. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB (Christeson, Brody): AABBA'A'BB (Phillips). It is on Charlie Walden's list of '100 essential Missouri fiddle tunes'. Jeff Titon (2001) notes the low part of this tune is related to the high strain of "Martha Campbell." He finds the title in Kentucky fiddlers' tune lists from the year 1915, kept at Berea College. Early recordings are by Doc Roberts (Ky.) in 1928, and Captain McKinney (Texas) in 1929. "Dead Slave (The)," another Missouri fiddle tune, has a similar first strain, while fiddler Pete McMahon's (Missouri) "Fiddler's Hoedown" has a 'B' part that is similar to the 'A' part of "Brickyard Joe" (Beisswenger & McCann).

Sources for notated versions: Tony Gilmore (Jefferson City, Missouri) [Christeson]; Doc Roberts (Richmond, Indiana, August 24, 1928. Roberts was a Kentucky fiddler who probably learned from Owen Walker, an older African-American fiddler from Madison County, Ky. Gus Meade thinks 70% of Roberts' repertoire was derived from Walker) [Brody, Phillips, Titon]; Lymon Enloe (1906-1997, Missouri), who had the tune from Tony Gilmore [Beisswenger & McCann].
