Liberty is fine old tune in the key of D and just playing it make you think of being free -- so I am happy to post this tune on the 4th of July and I hope that I do it justice. The tune has many names like Reel de Ti Jean (in Canada), or Raccoon and Possum, or Liberty Hornpipe. I think of it as an old tyme tune but the bluegrass players love it too and they really bite into it and play it HOT. Liberty is usually played in a standard tuning (e.g., GDAE on the fiddle or mandolin) and an AABB format. The Fiddlers Companion says that the first recordings of Liberty were by Texas fiddler Bob Wills and also by the great Nashville session fiddler of the 1940s, Tommy Jackson. Liberty is extremely popular and widely played and it is one of 100 essential Missouri tunes listed by Missouri fiddler Charlie Walden. Like I said it is a fine tune if you want to be an American old time player you would be wise to learn Liberty because nearly everyone you meet will know it! Played here on a 1919 Gibson F-2 mandolin
