Transcription: by Darryl D. Bush
The tune is named for Jackson, Mississippi, where it was recorded<br> in 1930 by the Mississippi Mud Steppers, a variation of the group<br> The Mississippi Sheiks, The Mud Steppers likely consisted of<br> Walter Vinson on guitar, with Charlie McCoy and an unknown musician. <br> The Old Jackson Stomp is actually and old piano piece by Cow Cow<br> Davenport called "The Cow Cow Blues".<br> This is one of the post-ragtime "rags" that fiddlers and mandolin players<br> developed in the early 20th century using the syncopated rhythms of the<br> ragtime tradition.<br> Other rags/blues tunes in this collections are:<br> Cherry River Rag<br> Colored Aristocracy<br> Dora Dean<br> Pig Ankle Rag<br> Ragtime Annie<br> Stone's Rag<br> - all in the Tunes section and<br> East Tennessee Blues<br> Eli Greens Cakewalk<br> Hawkin's Rag<br> Horace Hanesworth<br> Sister Kate<br> Woody's Rag<br> - in the Legacies section.<br> It was also recorded by The New Lost City Ramblers. I learned it<br> from the NLCR record.<br> I sometimes play it as the second tune in a medley with "Colored<br> Aristocracy".<br>
