Down in the Hollow

Drew Emmitt wrote it, and it is track one of Leftover Salmon's self-titled album on LoS Records, 2004, produced by Bill Payne of Little Feat with James Tuttle engineering and mixing and David Glasser mastering in Boulder. It was recorded April 18 to 29, 2003 at Colorado Sound in Westminster, Colorado, by Emmitt on mandolin, fiddle, electric guitar and vocals, Greg Garrison on bass, Vince Herman on guitar and vocals, Jose Martinez on drums, Bill McKay on keys and Noam Pikelny on banjo. The Indiana Daily Student, in August 2004, cited it among songs evoking a youth in the Tennessee woods.

Our upload is the Leftover Salmon original. Billy Strings and his band played it as a Leftover Salmon cover at Knoxville Civic Auditorium on February 18, 2022, opened Set Two with it at The Sylvee in Madison on March 4, 2022, and sat in with Leftover Salmon at the Station Inn in Nashville on May 24, 2022. Leftover Salmon still play it, as on March 17, 2023 at the Crown Room in Crystal Bay, Nevada. We found no song-meaning statement from Emmitt, no chart or video, and no setlist count.
