NEW BORN BLUES. Old-Time, Breakdown. C Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). The tune was recorded by the Stripling Brothers band, from Pickins County, Alabama, in 1929.

The Stripling Brothers

As with many of their 'blues' (uptempo breakdowns based on a blues chord progression) "New Born Blues" is in the key of 'C' (although it sounds in B flat, perhaps due to the recording process used).
