I really don’t know anything about this tune, except that I heard it on a Johnny Gimble album, and I liked it. I especially like the Put Your Shoes on, Put Your shoes on, followed by a pluck.
To me, this tune really embodies a lot of the old-time spirit of fiddling, it’s laid back, and fun. It has a catchy melody, and it makes me smile.
I have it on Justin Branum’s word that Johnny Gimble wrote it. I believe him.
Onomatopoeia, love the old timey way that the fiddle imitates the lyrics.
It’s a cool effect. And a cool song/tune for that matter.
This is so catchy; really like it. Wish I had music for it. Is it for sale? Sharon Habener
Hi Sharon,
Since Barefoot Fiddler is an original tune by Johnny Gimble, I can’t sell you a transcription of of, but you can pay me to transcribe it for you. You can request the transcription here, and I will get it turned around to you in 2 weeks or so.
