Fire on the Mountain

Two parts plus a tag. One part in key of A and the other key of D. This is a bluegrass standard where the object is to play it faster than humanly possible.

• We have it on CD by Highwoods Stringband [tube], moderately fast.

• We have it on CD by Tommy Jarrell [tube], slow and loping. 

• The Milliner-Koken collection [SlipperyHill] has several old recordings.

• The Digital Library of Appalachia [DLA] has even more old recordings.

• The Gypsy Hillbillies [tube] great fast bluegrass.

• There are three versions, each with different chords, in the Phillips Collection.

Not to be confused with...

There is a different tune called Old Time Fire on the Mountain on a CD by Fuzzy Mountain Stringband.
