The tune was recorded in New York City in May, 1926, with the record label crediting the fiddling to Tennessee musician Charlie Bowman (1889-1962), although it was the uncredited Hill Billies amalgam that recorded the tune in 1926, including the Hopkins brothers (Al, John and Joe). Bowman's improvisational fiddling is outstanding on the record.
