Fruit Jar Guzzlers was an old-time music group who recorded during the 1920s.
Fruit Jar Guzzlers is one of the most mysterious old-time groups to ever record. In 1928, another old-time musician Cleve Chaffin from Wayne County, West Virginia had supposedly recorded a session with two men named Stevens and Bolar for Paramount Records as Fruit Jar Guzzlers. [1] The names Stevens and Bolar appear as the writers for most of these recordings. [2] The group recorded many sides for Paramount in 1928. Chaffin is said[ by whom? ] to have played on all the recordings the group made.[ citation needed ] Other records by the Fruit Jar Guzzlers were released on Paramount's subsidiary label, Broadway Records, some were released as by the Panhandle Boys. It is possible that the Fruit Jar Guzzlers may also come from Wayne County, West Virginia, where Chaffin was from.[ original research? ]
