"Brickyard Joe" is an American reel in cut time and G Major. The parts are played AABB (Christeson, Brody) or AABBA'A'BB (Phillips). It is on Charlie Walden's list of '100 essential Missouri fiddle tunes'. Jeff Titon (2001) notes the low part of this tune is related to the high strain of "Martha Campbell". He finds the title in Kentucky fiddlers' tune lists from the year 1915, kept at Berea College. Early recordings are by Doc Roberts (1897-1978, Ky.) in 1928, and Captain McKinney (Texas) in 1929. It was printed in Beisswenger & McCann's Ozarks Fiddle Tunes (2008), R.P. Christeson's Old-Time Fiddler's Repertory, vol. 1 (1973), Brody's Fiddler's Fakebook (1983), Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994) and Titon's Old-Time Kentucky Fiddle Tunes (2001). It was recorded by Doc Roberts (1928) (78 RPM), Doc Roberts on Fiddlin' Doc Roberts: Old Time Tunes (1983), Fiddlin' Doc Roberts, vol. 1 (1999), Classic Fiddle Tunes (1975) and Wish I Had My Time Again (1980), Lyman Enloe on Fiddle Tunes I Recall (1979), Tony Gilmore on Old Time Fiddler's Repertory (1976) and Captain McKinney (78 RPM) (1929).
