Earl White's fiddle style is instantly recognizable. Pretty sweet clawhammer banjo from Mark Olitsky too.

Short but sweet clip that shows the bowing on this tune pretty clearly.

More complete track on Powell's time again album

Got this from Kenny Baker. Not sure about the original source. Lyman Enloe has a pretty similar version.

Annadeene Fraley guitar and Doug Chaffin Bass.

Interesting variant that's pretty different from the typical "Angeline The Baker". Source is Charlie Higgins

Nice twin fiddle arrangement from the Shoats at a house concert. Not sure if an original tune or what. The whole playlist is a good listen.

Missouri tune. Likely source

Missouri C tune played by Charlie Walden.

Another view of the same session

Outstanding flatfooting from Nic Gareiss! Not sure if this version of speed the plow is old time or irish. Anyway, good stuff.

Matt Gordon (fiddler on the right) wrote this tune. Fun jam tune!

Check out the 'overhand' guitar playing. In the interview segment he mentions thumbs carlile, another overhand player. There's some debate about Creed Birchfield's banjo style, but it looks to be some kind of two finger style and not clawhammer.

Molsky sounding great here, and Ale Möller is really an interesting player with his harmony parts and nordic mandola, a fascinating instrument.

2 hours is a long time so there's some change in personnel, maybe around 26:00 or so

Is this a crooked tune or what? Apparently in GDGC tuning. This ed haley version sounds pretty close, not sure if its the source or not.

A great jam tune. I like the feel on this version. Jane Rothfield on fiddle and Hilarie Burhans on banjo. Sugarpie's patreon page has more info. Source on this tune I think is Nile Wilson
