GOING UP BRUSHY FORK. AKA and see "Cripple Creek." American, Reel (cut time). USA, West Virginia. A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). ABBCC. "Going up Brushy Fork" is a local West Virginia title for the tune widely known as "Cripple Creek, essentially differing only in the title. It was recorded in New York in 1929 by Kanawha County, W.Va., fiddler Clark Kessinger (1896-1975) and his nephew Luches (collectively, 'The Kessinger Brothers') for the Brunswick label, although not commercially released until the next year. The tune features Kessinger's "brushing pizzicato" effect. Brunswick also released a version in Canada on their subsidiary Melotone label (M18018), giving the band's name as "Les Serenaders Du Lac St Jean." The tune was also recorded by Arkansas fiddler and violin-maker Violet Hensley [1] (b. 1916), in a slightly "crooked" version in her third strain.
