Thank you for posting this. Thanks also for the great photos.

Could you tell us when this was recorded, and who the other musicians are? Was this recorded in Chattanooga?

Thanks so much.

I think it was recorded around the same time as the Vernon Dalhart version 1924? and before the Skillet Lickers version 1926?

I love this version. I go for authentic, not reproductions. This is vintage, and really enjoyed this version. Never heard of him, but sure will take note and look for more of his music. THANKS for posting this one!
