About I Don’t Love Nobody – Part 2:

I Don’t Love Nobody according to Traditional Tune Archive

This popular tune has been covered by many old-time fiddlers, but also has been played in bluegrass, contest and Western Swing style. Charles Wolfe (1983) remarks that it was issued by no less than six labels in the early 1930’s, and prior to that it was recorded by Georgia fiddler Gid Tanner (1924), Earl Johnson (1927), and the Dixie String Band (1924). One early recording, by the Red Headed Fiddlers (with A.L. “Red” Steely on fiddle and Red Graham on banjo), resulted in the song being released as “Fatal Wedding.” The tune was recorded for the Library of Congress by musicologist/folklorist Vance Randolph from Ozarks Mountains fiddlers in the early 1940’s, and 20th century Ozarks fiddler Art Galbraith noted that he heard many fiddlers play the tune[1].
