Freddy Badger | Freddy Badger-He Had A Long Chain On (Jimmie Driftwood cover) @FreddyBadger | Uploaded December 2020 | Updated October 2024, 2 hours ago.
Another song from the great Ozark songwriter Jimmie Driftwood. About an old escapee of the Civil War draft who wandered dragging the chain he escaped in.
This is my first recording using my new banjo, a 4-string tenor banjo from the 1930s. I usually play the larger 5-string banjo typical of Appalachian music. The tenor banjo is often played with a pick, makes more use of strumming and chords, and is common in a variety of genres, such as Irish traditional, Dixie jazz, and jug band music.
