 Tear It Down (Foldin' Bed). A good case can be made that jugband music was actually born down river from us in the city of Louisville, Ky. I suppose it can't be proved, but what we do know for a fact is that a great number of jugbands flourished in Louisville in the '20s and '30s, and there was none better than the wonderful Whistler's Jug Band headed by guitarist Buford Threlkeld. Whistler was the first group in the nation to record jugband music, starting in 1924. Now, we know that over the years, a lot of bands did this tune, "Tear It Down," as known as "Foldin' Bed," but we suspect Whistler was the first. Here's The Flood's version, from a recent jam session.
