From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

East Tennessee Blues is an American old-time fiddle song, which dates back to the early 20th century. [1]

Written by Charlie Bowman (born in Gray Station, in East Tennessee), it was first recorded by Al Hopkins, (aka The Hill Billies) in 1926. [2] Well-known bluegrass artists, such as Bill Monroe, Doc Watson, [3] and Tommy Jackson have released versions of the song. [4] A mainstay of bluegrass music, the song continues to be performed by singers such as Sierra Hull [5] and the Steep Canyon Rangers, [6] as well as the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass Pride Band.
