STRIPLING BROS 'SHADOW LABEL' DECCA 78 FROM 1936
Here's an old time fiddlin' gem from 1936 - a 'shadow label'
Decca 78 by the Stripling Brothers. Thanks to Bob Bates from
the Fraser Valley for this fine fiddle disc.
We heard this gem on the July 21/08 edition of RRR.
As the All
Music Guide tells us:
Between 1928 and 1936, the Stripling Brothers -- fiddler Charlie
and guitarist Ira -- recorded 42 tunes, the first 18 for the
Brunswick label, and the remainder for Decca. The sides they
released reflect the rich (and otherwise un-recorded) fiddle
traditions of their home in West Alabama; they also showcase
the unique abilities of that area's most accomplished fiddler
- Charlie Stripling.
