What’s it all About?
“Old Joe Clark” is a fiddle tune about a preacher’s son named Old Joe Clark who was good at gambling and telling tall tales. Some people claim that Joe Clark might’ve been a moonshiner in the Virginia hills, a veteran of the War of 1812, or a banjo player from Clay County, Kentucky—ultimately, there’s an Old Joe Clark wherever you might be!
