About This Song
Ragtime Annie is a classic fiddle tune that's been a jam session staple for generations. Despite its name, it's played in a driving, uptempo style rather than actual ragtime rhythm. The tune is known for its propulsive energy and the interplay between melody and rhythm—when a hot fiddler tears into it, it's one of the most exciting tunes in the bluegrass repertoire.
