Leake County Revelers

The Leake County Revelers were Mississippi band consisting of Will Gilmer on fiddle(born in 1895, in Sebastopol, Mississippi), Dallas Jones on guitar and most lead vocals, R.O.Moseley on banjo-mandolin, and Jim Wolverton on banjo. Many of their tunes were played in a slow, easy gait which set them apart from the  many breakdown fiddlers. They recorded 44 selections for Columbia between 1927 and 1930 and were very popular during this time, selling many records.
