CUMBERLAND BLUES [1]. Old-Time, Country Rag. C Major ('A' part) & F Major ('B' part). Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. Reconstructed from the 1921 pop hit "Wabash Blues" (a favorite with early jazz bands) by Madison County, Ky., fiddler Doc Roberts, whose fiddling (according to Tom Carter) reflected "the movement of new influences into the Upland South." Musicologist Charles Wolfe thinks the melody "a splendid combination of ragtime, blues, and old time-fiddling."

Source for notated version: Doc Roberts (KY) [Phillips].

Printed sources: Phillips (Traditional American Fiddle Tunes), vol. 2, 1995; p. 37.
