About This Song
Old Joe Clark is one of the oldest and most widely-known fiddle tunes in Appalachian music, with countless regional variations passed down through generations. The melody is thought to reference a real Kentucky mountaineer from the 1800s. It's a jam session staple that practically every bluegrass musician knows by heart.
