The Georgia Fife and Drum band played rousing, good time music. This band tends to favor an earthier drum sound than the firecracker snare beats heard in Mississippi f&d groups such as the Como Drum Band. One track shares lyrics with "You Gotta Quit Kickin' My Dog Around," a tune popularized by fellow Georgians Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers. Also comes with buck dancing!
Note that we have an extensive article on Otha Turner and Mississippi fife-and-drum music posted on the 50 Miles of Elbow Room articles page.
