"The Rebel Raid" is an Old-Time breakdown in A Major. It is usually played in AEae tuning on the fiddle. The tune is sourced to John Scotland Hannah (b. 1920), who grew up in Mingo County, West Virginia, but who moved to Columbus, Ohio, in the 1950's. The title “Rebel Raid” was attached to several tunes at the turn of the century and a tune called “Rebel Raid” was in the repertoire of Ed Haley (northeastern Kentucky). Haley's versions of his tunes were sometimes quite different from the "standard" versions played by other players. Jim Taylor (1996) and Jeff Titon (2001) believe the title may refer to the 1864 Confederate incursions of General John Hunt Morgan and ‘Morgan’s Raiders’ into eastern Kentucky. Adam Hurt plays a banjo version of this tune.
