Cheat River

Reel · 4/4 · D major

Cheat River is a traditional American fiddle tune played as a lively reel in four-four time and the key of D major. Because its exact geographic origin and composer are not historically documented, musicians approach it with an energetic and rhythmic playing style typical of Appalachian fiddle traditions. The tune is frequently featured in contemporary old-time jam sessions and regional fiddle contests across the United States.
