Georgia Yellow Hammers

[2] The group often played with Andrew and Jim Baxter from Curryville, GA (also in Gordon County).

Andrew Baxter's unique style of fiddle is heard an early recording of a band favorite entitled "G-Rag".

The Baxters were African Americans, which was an unusual collaboration for the time period.

The song "Drifting Too Far From The Shore" written by member Charles Moody has been covered by such artists as Jerry Garcia,[4] Emmylou Harris, Phil Lesh & Friends, Hank Williams, and many others, as well as being a standard in many gospel hymnals.

Georgia Yellow Hammers recorded songs including: Mary, Don't You Weep[5] I'm S-A-V-E-D[6] Pass around the Bottle[7] Fourth of July at a County Fair (1927)[8] Going to Ride That Midnight Train[9] Tennessee Coon (1927)[10] My Carolina Girl (1927)[11] G Rag with Andrew Baxter (1927 Aug. 9)[12] Peaches down in Georgia[13] Picture on the Wall (1928)[13]
