   About The Skillet Lickers
The original members were Gid Tanner, Riley Puckett, Clayton McMichen and Fate Norris. The members had been performing in various combinations around Atlanta before 1924, but it was in that year that Tanner (a fiddle-playing chicken farmer) and the blind guitarist Puckett recorded to become Columbia Records' first hillbilly talent. In 1926 with McMichen and Norris, they recorded for the first time as Gid Tanner And The Skillet Lickers. Over the years there were line-up variations and other important members included Lowe Stokes, Bert Layne (both outstanding fiddlers), Hoke Rice (guitar), Gid's brother Arthur (banjo, guitar) and teenage son Gordon (fiddle). By 1931, in some combination or other, they had cut 88 sides for Columbia - all but six being released. Their material included fiddle tunes, traditional ballads and pop songs, plus little comedy skits such as their noted "A Corn Licker Still In Georgia". In 1934, Gid Tanner And The Skillet Lickers were credited with a million-selling record for their recording of "Down Yonder". Quite possibly the greatest stringband of all time.

The Valentines Day Massacre Episode 12

Release Date Feb. 15th 2008



It's the moment you have all been waiting for... Episode #12 of It Burns When I Pee ! The Valentines Day Massacre is here! We have been gone for almost two months, but we are back to fight the good fight for underground/ Alt-country. On this episode we feature an interview with Bill Anderson (of the Meat Purveyors ). In the interview we talk about his career, the in and outs of The Meat Purveyors, and what he is doing now a days. We are also going to premier our new comedy skit, The Trailer Park Dating Game. This is probably the most extensive skit we have done thus far. The show is as usual filled with music from the likes of The Von Ehrics, Stacy Dean Campbell, Joecephus & The George Jonestown Massacre, OldBoy, Hank Williams Sr, and of course some tunes from The Meat Purveyors. And if that wasn't ENOUGH... we have our pal Jared Morningstar back on the show to read an essay he has written. Of course there is more, but we can't give it away! So come join us at www.section86.com and download the show.
