Big Sandy River

Reel · 4/4 · A major

Big Sandy River is a traditional American fiddle tune associated with the old-time music repertoire of Appalachia. Played as a lively reel in four-four meter and A major, it features an upbeat character driven by rhythmic bowing and traditional clawhammer or finger-style accompaniment. Because its exact historical origins and composer remain uncertain, the tune is best known through regional oral traditions and mid-twentieth-century revival recordings.
