Blackberry Blossom

Jig · 6/8 · G major

Blackberry Blossom is a traditional fiddle tune of uncertain historical origin, though it is widely played in both American old-time and Irish traditional music styles. In the standard old-time tradition, it is typically played as a lively breakdown in G major, characterized by a complex, syncopated melody and nimble fingerwork. While variants also exist as an Irish reel or jig, the American version is especially famous for its intricate cross-tuning and interplay between fiddle and banjo.
