This Various Artists bluegrass compilation includes one Stanley Brothers' banjo tune, which is listed as Fire On The Strings, but is actually just the Starday recording of Holiday Pickin' which the Stanleys recorded in 1958. Jim & Jesse's Tennessee Fling Ding is likewise a renaming of Border Ride.
The album was also issued in the UK (London HA-B 8117) 1963.
Holiday Pickin' can be found on the 4xCD set The Early Starday/King Years, 1958-1961.
Thanks to Todd Gracyk for the corrections/update.
- Carter Stanley: guitar, vocals
- Ralph Stanley: banjo, vocals
- Al Elliott: bass
- Gene Meadows: lead guitar
- Joe Meadows: fiddle
- Bill Napier: mandolin
For detailed information on the songs/sessions check Gary B. Reid's The Music Of The Stanley Brothers book pages 88 and 137.
