"Red Fox" is an American reel in cut time and G Major or G Major ('A' part) & D Major
('B' part). The parts are played AABB.
Alan Jabbour collected the tune from Henry Reed. He called the tune "unusual and, so far untraceable" and speculated it may have derived from a 6/8 jig, transformed into a duple time tune in the Upland South. The banjo tablature is by John Letscher who plays the A and B parts reversed. It was printed in Krassen's Appalachian Fiddle (1973) and Clawhammer Banjo (1974). It was recorded by The Hollow Rock String Band on The Hollow Rock String Band (1974) and Tom Bledsoe & Rich Kirby on Hits From Home (1982). |
