Salt Creek

Barndance · 4/4 · A mixolydian

Salt Creek is a traditional American fiddle tune of uncertain origin, widely popular in old-time music circles. Played in A mixolydian with a 4/4 meter typically associated with a barndance, it features a lively and driving character suited for square dancing. Because its exact historical background is not well established, musicians focus on its energetic rhythm and rhythmic variations that make it a favorite at fiddle contests and jam sessions.
