“Little Rabbit” is an old-time tune from the Blue Ridge Mountains, where it likely began. Most modern versions trace to a 1930s recording by Crockett’s Kentucky Mountaineers, a string-band setting that strung together “Little Rabbit” with the related “Rabbit Where’s Your Mammy.”
A lively breakdown, the tune belongs to a tangled family of rabbit-titled melodies, and it is often played as a multi-part piece combining two of them. It has long been a fixture of old-time jam sessions.
The tune endures among old-time and bluegrass fiddlers.
