Song Of The Day #541

Joe Delk, of the Delk Band, told Ranch Radio he liked Red Steagal's and other modern versions of Little Joe The Wrangler, but wondered if we didn't have "an old recording" of the tune.

As I recall Joe played a beautiful rendition of the song on the fiddle when he opened for Michael Martin Murphey's benefit concert for Kit Laney.

To respond to Joe's request, here's a 1931 recording of Little Joe The Wrangler by The Texas Drifter (Goebel Reeves).

Let us know if you have a request.
