SHOOTIN' CREEK [3]. American, Reel. USA, North Carolina. The title refers to the same Franklin County, Va., bootlegging area as other "Shooting Creek" tunes. Members of the famous early 20th century string band Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers spent a good deal of time in the area between 1924 and 1931 and recorded a tune under the title. Joel Shimberg points out the the Ramblers’ “Shootin’ Creek” is really a version of “Cripple Creek.”
