East Tennessee Blues is an American old-time fiddle song, which dates back to the early 20th century.[1]

Written by Charlie Bowman (born in Gray Station, in East Tennessee), it was first recorded by Al Hopkins, (aka The Hill Billies) in 1926.[2] Well-known bluegrass artists, such as Bill Monroe, Doc Watson,[3] and Tommy Jackson have released versions of the song.[4] A mainstay of bluegrass music, the song continues to be performed by singers such as Sierra Hull[5] and the Steep Canyon Rangers,[6] as well as the East Tennessee State University Bluegrass Pride Band.[7][8]
