Gid Tanner and George Riley Puckett
Fiddler Gid Tanner (1885–1960) and blind guitarist Riley Puckett cut some of the very first country records at Columbia’s March 1924 sessions, a year before they anchored the Skillet Lickers.
- Their duets — “Black Eyed Susie,” “Whoa Mule” — captured north Georgia dance repertoire at the moment the recording industry discovered it.
