The Field Recorder's Collective—Teodar Jackson – African-American Fiddling from Texas – FRC728

"Teodar Jackson (1903-1966) was an old-time African-American fiddler with deep roots in Texas. He was born in Gonzales County, where his family had farmed since his grandfather emigrated from Mississippi sometime after 1850. Square-dance tunes, blues, and rags made up a large part of his repertoire, but in addition he played a number of set-pieces that hint at something perhaps older, otherwise lost to our ears."
