"Document Records celebrates the centenary of the first recordings by Gid Tanner & The Skillet Lickers with this special limited edition vinyl release. Recorded in Atlanta for Columbia Records beginning in 1926, the group played a defining role in shaping what would become commercial country music, blending old-time string band traditions with a new recorded sound. This album brings together some of their most influential performances, including 'Bully Of The Town,' 'Pass Around The Bottle,' and 'Old Joe Clark,' capturing the raw energy and musical character that made the Skillet Lickers one of the most important acts of their era. The release is pressed on blue 180g vinyl and strictly limited to 300 copies. The sleeve artwork draws on rare period photographs and original Columbia Records advertisements from the 1920s, creating a visually authentic companion to the music. Buyers also receive access to exclusive illustrated notes by Russ Tanner, offering historical background and personal family insight into the band's legacy. Intended for collectors and listeners with an interest in early American roots music, this edition preserves a crucial chapter in recorded music history."
