Music reviews of Old-Time Texas Fiddler
Music Review: Not the first, but one of the best!
Rating: 5 Stars
Recently, when I came across a very old, pre-electric country fiddle 78 of "Arkansas Traveler" in a thrift store, I assumed that what I'd found was a knock-off of Eck Robertson's famous "first" country record, "Arkansas Traveler"/"Sallie Gooden," from 1922. Imagine my suprise when comparison-dating revealed my find to be from the year 1916! Recorded by one Don Richardson, the record also features "Old Zip Coon," and it was released on Columbia A2140. And who knows who might have beat Richardson to the studio?But, even if Eck Robertson wasn't the first, he was one of the best of the "old-time" country musicians. This is superb vintage country, and the sound restoration is miraculous. This may be the best collection of its type, and, as such, your collection cannot be without it.

Description of Old-Time Texas Fiddler
All products are BRAND NEW and factory sealed. Fast shipping and 100% Satisfaction Guaranteed.Country music, scholars say, begins here. In 1922 RCA/Victor released a 78 featuring two songs that are now classic: "Sallie Gooden" and "Arkansas Traveler." The performer was Texan Eck Robertson, a long-bow fiddle champion. The popularity of that recording established RCA's hillbilly catalogue and opened the door for commercial old-time music across the South. While Robertson never saw much profit from these recordings, his early career--the whole of it is represented here--set a standard that country fiddlers still emulate. "Sallie Gooden" especially is an incredible, virtuoso piece, as rich and complex as a Charlie Parker solo, one of the most important performances in country music. These are old recordings, transferred directly from 78s, and so there are some pops and hiss, but the brilliance of Robertson's aggressive fiddle work sears right through. --Roy Kasten
