'''EVENING SHADE'''. American, Reel (cut time). USA, Tennessee. G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. The tune is credited to Arthur Smith (1898-1971), born in Humphreys County, middle-eastern Tennessee, and is a slower tempo than the usual breakdown speed, and a change of pace from the usual blazingly fast Arthur Smith breakdowns. On a home recording by Arthur Smith's son, Ernest, the tune is entitled "Evening Shade Falling," although on Smith's LP it is listed simply as "Evening Shade."
