"Soppin’ Up the Gravy" is an old-time breakdown in D Major. The parts are played one part (Phillips/1989) or AA'BB (Lamancusa). There is some similarity to "Acorn Hill (Breakdown)" by Nashville session fiddler Tommy Jackson. The sources for Phillips' version are Bartow Riley and Art Stamper. It was printed in Phillips' Fiddlecase Tunebook (1989), Phillips' Traditional American Fiddle Tunes, vol. 1 (1994) and Lamancusa's The Gettysburg Collection of Old-Time Fiddle Tunes (2021). It was recorded by The Kessinger Brothers (1930), Bartow Riley on Bartow Riley (1971), Vernon Solomon on Texas Hoedown (1965), The Dillards and Byron Berline on Pickin' and Fiddlin' (1965), Benny Thomasson and Jerry Thomasson on A Jam Session with Benny & Jerry Thomasson (1973), Mark O'Connor on Soppin' the Gravy (1981), Art Stamper on Pineywoods (1985), Alison Krauss on Masters of the Folk Violin (1989) and others.
