This is the original Pierce’s Store around 1900. Pierce’s Pepsteppers could often be seen playing their exciting brand of old country fiddle music on the well worn porch or across the road in the barn. The music would reverberate throughout the neighborhood into the wee hours, and many people still today recall the magical voices of the fiddles, banjos, and guitars delightfully echoing their hopeful melodies in the otherwise serene, and somewhat bleak, northern landscape.

Familiar old tunes such as “Cripple Creek” and “Old Joe Clark” and “Mississippi Sawyer”, as well as archaic old melodies learned from original 78 records, from Texas, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, were the mainstay of the PEPSTEPPERS, and this disc is a wonderful sampling of their rare, original recordings.
