The liner notes to the album include some comments by Joe Meadows on the individual tracks:

"I learned Rutland's Reel from Howdy Forrester, who is one of my favorite fiddle players, but I kind of worked it up into a blue grass style."

"Cruel Willie is one of my own arrangements. I actually play two fiddles in this, one at a time, and record both for the twin fiddle effect."

"My next number is The Shawnee which is my own original arrangement. I guess the reason I called this Shawnee was that there was a tribe of Indians out of Kentucky that came to this area when the settlers of Mercer County settled here. The Indians killed these settlers. This is down next to where I live and there is a lake called Shawnee Lake. And the tune that I wrote is kind of an Indian style; I guess that is what you would call it. Most of the tunes that are wrote in these minors are given Indian names so I wanted to call this one shawnee. This tune is done in G minor."

"Our next tune is Black Mountain Rag. I have always heard that Leslie Keith wrote this tune and it became a well known fiddle tune while in the C.C.C Camp at Black Mountain, West Virginia. I have done some rearrangement of this tune and play it in my own style."

"The next one we have is Billy In The Low Ground, which is an old fiddle tune that is usually heard at contests all over the country. I worked this up in my own style. I learned this tune from Fiddlin' Red Herron, or from a record by him right after I started playin' the fiddle. This is one of the tunes I learned which I thought he had done an awful good job on, but I worked up my own arrangement on it."

"A song that has an unusual name is Kawliga which has been arranged by Rob and Stella Mashburn into a fiddle tune. The lyrics are by Hank Williams. I think it makes a real nice fiddle tune and it is played in G minor. It's got an Indian beat, kind of in the style of The Shawnee. You have seen the Indians do the war dance... well, this is where this comes from... from the beat that they give on the drums."

"I learned the next tune, Martin's Waltz from Benny Martin. I don't think it has ever been recorded. I don't know if Benny ever had it copyrighted, probably so. I think it is an awful pretty waltz. It's one of my favorites so I wanted to record it."

"Now I kind of got the idea for my next tune from my Dad. It's called Camp Creek. It is one of the tunes he used to play, and of course, Camp Creek is the place where I was raised. So I just wanted to call it Camp Creek as a sort of dedication to my homeplace."

"Now, another old timer here that we hear that most fiddle players play that can play a fiddle at all is the Mockingbird. I got this from Fiddlin' Red Herron who really did a good job on this, I thought. I got my idea from him but I made some changes in it and worked out my own arrangement on it to suit my own style of playing the fiddle."
