Skillet Lickers

About the artist

James Gideon 'Gid Tanner' (b. June 6, 1885 Thomas Bridge near Monroe, Georgia, d. May 13, 1960 Dacula, Georgia) was an American old time fiddler and one of the earliest stars of what would come to be known as country music. His band, the Skillet Lickers, was one of the most innovative and influential string bands of the 1920s and 1930s. Its most notable members were Clayton McMichen (fiddle and vocal) and the blind Riley Puckett (guitar and vocal).
