Song of the Day - Tuesday March 13, 2007

The Skillet Lickers - Hell Broke Loose In Georgia

Recorded 1929

God, these guys are good. They got that old-time string band sound down pat. Can't you picture them sittin' out on the front porch of old Gid Tanner's farmhouse jammin' and maybe tippin' a jug of moonshine now and than. I wonder if they would be surprised that this recording would be "Song of the Day" on an Internet website 78 years later.
