Gone Fishin- Caught Nothin'

Two of the most common old-timey tracks we've come across on Soundcloud, slowed down and turned up.
Angeline is usually credited to Stephen Foster, though it seems the most common variations these days are divorced from his composition and instead likely stem from a parody version. Uncle Eck Dunford's version from the legendary 1928 Bristol sessions has been credited as the source for the modern spread of the tune, but it's far from identical to the melody presented here.
Favorite version among the (literally) hundreds posted to Soundcloud is from the great Dai Bowen & the White House Band with a similar though subtler approach to the one we take here - our apologies, Dai! - https://soundcloud.com/banjodai/angeline-the-baker

Shove That Pig's Foot etc. etc. is one I'd never heard before joining Soundcloud but have heard several versions of here (and, lately, elsewhere). No idea where the origins lie. The B part seems to have absconded with our good taste, so if anyone sees either please drop us an inbox.
Favorite Soundcloud version comes from The String Mules: https://soundcloud.com/the-string-mules/ruby-with-the-eyes-that

Jeff employs his Wall of Folk technique; I'm pretty sure we topped 40 tracks in this one, and hopefully the mix marries textural contrast and depth with an overall sonic consistency. In other words, we hope it doesn't get boring or repetitive.

Guitar, Banjo, Cigar Box Guitar, Mandolins, Dulcimer, Electric Bass, Whistles, Jaw Harps, Ukulele, Harmonica, Drums, vocals

Hi there, I'm a double bassist, bass guitarist, mandolinist and acoustic guitarist. I'm based in Glasgow in the west of Scotland and am always looking for collaborators and musicians for tunes. My love is bluegrass music, whether traditional or more progressive. I co-run a bluegrass session on the last Monday of every month in Glasgow at Bar Gumbo. If you are in town check it out. Hope you enjoy.
