GID TANNER & RILEY PUCKETT
& The Skillet Lickers

THE BASICS
ARTIST : GID TANNER
LABEL : Columbia 15447
SELECTIONS : It Ain’t Gonna Rain No Mo’
The Rovin’ Gambler
RECORD DATE : April 8, 1929
CONDITION : E+

 In terms of number of recordings, Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers was the most prolific of the Georgia string bands of the 1920s and 30s. They typified the unrestrained Georgia string band style, featuring comedy skits, fiddle breakdowns, and the hillbilly showman personality of Gid Tanner. The band featured Tanner and Clayton McMichen on fiddle, Fate Norris on banjo, and Riley Puckett on guitar.

This one is from a session on April 8, 1929 and is a great pair of song which includes “The Rovin’ Gambler” right there on the topside. The song has been recorded again and again over the last 80 years, but this version takes it right back to near the first time it was laid down on record. On the flip is their version of the 1924 hit song “It Ain’t Gonna Rain No Mo’.” This is a 15084-D and is one of those 'new process' recordings so it started off with a pretty clean surface
