Description

*** 1929 Country-fiddle ***
Original and hard-to-find 1929 1st issue of these amazing fiddle sides. Wonderful record. It hardly get's better then Great Big 'Taters....superb.  Recorded 10/10/1929.

 Alexander Campbell "Eck" Robertson (born November 20, 1887 in Delaney, Arkansas, died February 15, 1975  in Borger, Texas) was mostly known for commercially recording the first Country Music songs in 1922 with Henry Gilliland  (but this has been disputed of course). At the age of five, Robertson began learning to play the fiddle, and later learned banjo  and guitar. In 1904, at the age of sixteen, he decided to become a professional musician and left home to travel with a medicine  show through Indian Territory.
Robertson approached Victor about recording again, and in 1929 arranged to meet a Victor field recording engineer in Dallas, Texas.  This time he included his wife Nettie on guitar, his daughter Daphne on tenor guitar and his son Dueron on tenor banjo.  On August 12, 1929 the group recorded four fiddle tunes - "Texas Wagoner", "There's a Brown Skin Gal Down the Road",  "Amarillo Waltz" and "Brown Kelly Waltz". On October 10, the Robertson family band returned to Dallas and recorded two  fiddle duets with Texas fiddler J. B. Cranfill, "Great Big Taters" and "Run Boy Run". 

artist:  Eck Robertson & Dr J.B. Cranfill titles:  Great Big 'Taters  /  Run, Boy, Run year:  1929 label:  Victor ?– V-40205 deadwax:  AV40205B   V.E.  /  AV40205A condition:  (grading is from 1 to 10 with 10 being new) visually: 7 out of 10  (some light scratches, some small pits and light greying/dulling)  plays: 5 to 6 out of 10 (strong and enjoyable player - a bit grainy with background crackle) Looks E-   plays V to V+
Do note that these 78s are all recorded with a modern Stanton USB turntable. The Stanton is a expensive motha but really sounds like crap! All these sound so much better on our old early 60s Lenco player. The Stanton makes all the ticks and crackle sound worse and more metalic.
