"Wagoner" (along with "Wagoner in B Flat") was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph from the playing of Ozarks Mountains fiddlers in the early 1940's, and by Herbert Halpert in 1939 from the playing of Lee County, Mississippi, fiddler W.E. Claunch. “Wagoner” was Kentucky fiddler John M. Salyer’s (1882-1952) favorite tune, according to his son Grover. Guthrie Meade lists 24 early recordings of various “Wagoner”-titled tunes on 78 RPM, including Uncle Am Stuart (1924), Doc Roberts & Dick Parman (1927), Reaves’ White County Ramblers (1928), Eck Robertson (1929), Gid Tanner & His Skillet Lickers (1930), and Fiddlin’ John Carson (1934).
