Allen Sisson was the stage name of North Georgian fiddle master Robert Allen Sisson. Allen Sisson came from a long line of mountain fiddlers and won the Tennessee State Fiddle Champion in 1921. “Rhymers Favorite” shows off Allen’s flare for complex chord progression that eventually landed him in the Edison studios in East Orange, NJ in 1925.
