MAXWELL GIRL. Old-Time. The tune was recorded by the Booker Brothers, African-American musicians from Jessamine County, Kentucky with the group Taylor's Kentucky Boys. They were one of the few bands with both white and black musicians; Jim Booker, a fiddler, was born around 1872, and played with Marion Underwood on banjo and Willie Young on guitar, and, on some sides, Aulton Ray on vocals.
