Everybody Hollerin' Goat is an album by the American musician Othar Turner, released in 1998.[3][4] He is credited with the Rising Star Fife and Drum Band.[5] Turner was 90 when he recorded the album.[6] The title refers to Turner's barbecued goat parties.[7]
Recorded mostly on Turner's north Mississippi farm, the album was produced by Luther Dickinson.[8][9][10] R.L. Boyce, Turner's nephew, contributed to the album.[11] The sessions took place between 1992 and 1997.[12] It was Dickinson's intention to simply make a document of Turner's music for Turner and his family.[13] Dickinson first noticed Turner when the fife player appeared on a 1970s episode of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood.[14] Dickinson sampled Everybody Hollerin' Goat on his North Mississippi Allstars album Shake Hands with Shorty.[15]
