This final volume of Fiddlin” John Carson”s complete recorded works, from 1923 to 1934, provides the last four recordings Carson made for Okeh plus the twenty tracks made for Bluebird in 1934. Once again there are a good few re-recordings of earlier tunes, all are most acceptable. 1934 saw Fiddlin” John and his music rapidly being superseded; the public were back buying records but they wanted new sounds and styles. The western swing performances by Bob Wills, Milton Brown et al, or the close harmony singing of the Delmores, Blue Sky Boys were more to the punter”s taste than Carson and his now rather archaic sound. In his review of the book ”Fiddlin” Georgia Crazy”, Keith Briggs noted that there was little in Carson”s music that related to the black tradition. After listening to seven volumes of his music I would agree; however, on volume seven there is one song that was later recorded by both Big Joe Williams and Muddy Waters; ”She”ll Be Comin” Round The Mountain”. The seven volumes, make a very valuable and agreeable addition to the Document Records catalogue (8000 series) of old-timey music.
