About This Song
Angeline The Baker is a jam session essential—one of those tunes that gets called at bluegrass circles everywhere. It's typically played in D. With just 2 chords (D and G), it's one of the most beginner-friendly tunes in the bluegrass repertoire and a great choice for newer players joining their first jam sessions.
This tune is an old-time fiddle melody that has become a bluegrass standard. The simple two-chord structure (just the I and IV) makes it easy to follow, while the lively melody gives fiddlers, banjo players, and mandolinists plenty of room to shine during their breaks.
