RUTHERFORD'S REEL. Old-Time, Jig (6/8 time, despite the name). A rare old-time 6/8 time jig from the playing of Kentucky singer and guitarist Asa Martin [1] (1900-1979) and his latter-day group. It was recorded after Martin had been “rediscovered” in 1969 by Archie Green and Norm Cohen, subsequent to which he came out of retirement.
