About This Song
Grey Eagle is one of the most iconic old-time fiddle tunes in American roots music, with deep Appalachian roots dating back to the 19th century. It's been recorded by countless artists and remains a staple at jams and square dances. The tune takes its name from a famous racehorse, and its driving rhythm and melodic variations have made it endlessly popular with fiddlers and flatpickers alike.
