Tut Taylor Archive Reel #57 contains what is likely a circa mid-1970's recording session (perhaps recorded at the
Old Time Pickin' Parlor, Nashville, TN) featuring Tut (mandolin), Charlie Collins (guitar), & Butch Robins (banjo).
After some noodling around on the first several tracks, they get down to working on Tut's composition "Tennessee
Traveler", which bears some resemblance to "Tennessee Stud" as popularized by Doc Watson. At least sixteen
"Tennessee Traveler" takes are found; track #14 referred to as "Take 76" is, to my ears, their best effort.
One take of "Shuckin' the Corn" is found at the end of the tape. Notably, neither "Tennessee Traveler" nor
"Shuckin the Corn" ever appeared on any of Tut's releases.

--Mitchell Wittenberg

The tape is a 3.75 inch per second stereo recording. The reel was played
on a modified Revox A77 reel-to-reel machine with a Reutelhuber custom designed and
built tape head preamplifier incorporating 2003 era technology and components
including all metal film resistors, polypropelene coupling capacitors, and low ESR
electrolytic supply bypass capacitors. The resulting analog signal was digitized
by a Mytek Digital 8X96 analog to digital converter using Steinberg Nuendo as the
recording software and saved as a 24 bit 48 kHz wave file.

Post processing and was done with Nuendo using the following Waves
Plugins: X-Hum and L3. The file was dithered down to a
16 bit/44.1kHz wave file.

The box is labeled 'Recording Project, "Tenn. Traveler", Tut, Charlie Collins, Butch Robbins & others,
Wild Shucking The Corn'.
