Marin County Breakdown Share Chittlin’ at Shanty Shack

Performed February 15, 2020. Santa Cruz, CA.

The family band Marin County Breakdown paid a visit to Shanty Shack Brewing. In between sets of bluegrass standards and jazz turned bluegrass tunes they found space for a song or two of Utah Philips. Chittlin’ Cookin’ Time In Cheatham County dates back to a recording in 1936 by Arthur Smith Trio, credited to Fiddlin’ Arthur Smith.


When it’s chittlin’ cookin’ time in Cheatham County
I’ll be courtin’ in them Cheatham County hills
And I’ll pick a Cheatham County chittlin’ cooker
I’ve a longin’ that the chittlin’s will fill
