I came across this evening and thought it was worth posting. This is "Indian War Whoop" by Hoyt Ming & His Pep-Steppers - a Mississippi fiddler who led his three-piece band of guitars and mandolins during the 1920's.
This folk group recorded a number of cuts for Victor (later RCA) and this particular track is taken from one of their 1928 sessions and is quite frankly stunning.
They stayed active until the 1950's, while Hoyt also worked as a potato farmer in his home state, but the band was reformed in the 60's when they had a track featured on the Anthology of American Folk Music, before finally ceasing during the 1970's.
