Angelina Baker is a Stephen Foster song written for the Christy Minstrals and published in 1850. Here’s a taste…

Angeline the Baker is a fiddle tune that has similarities to the Foster tune, but has evolved quite differently. Here are some versions of Angeline the Baker, starting with a very nice stringband version by Trent Wagler and the Steel Wheels

Here’s Zepp on Clawhammer. He plays so beautifully well!

And a fiddle version on a boxcar by ottlakerambler

And finally, a dobo and mandolin version featuring Rob Ickes
