The Old Time 100 Vol. 1 by George Jackson and Tristan Scroggins, released in 2024, is a systematic documentation project: one hundred fiddle tunes from the core old-time repertoire, played with the rigor and care that the tradition warrants. Jackson and Scroggins — fiddle and guitar — approach the material as practitioners committed to accurate transmission rather than individual interpretation, making the album a useful reference as well as a listening experience. The project reflects the contemporary old-time revival's interest in building a documented repertoire that can serve as a shared resource for players at all levels. As an archival and pedagogical object, The Old Time 100 Vol. 1 occupies a specific and valuable niche; as a listening experience, its pleasures are those of clean execution and careful attention to regional stylistic nuance.
