about

Volume 2 continues in the effort to give some measure to Clyde Davenport’s huge repertoire with a well deserved direct to digital recording made upon return from a 2 month cross country recording trip in 1994. Although Dave Spilkia and I had visited Monticello in 1974, we only met Clyde’s music partner W.T. Gregory (2 LPs on Davis Unlimited). Numerous subsequent trips in the 1980s to Clyde and his wife Lorene (cover photo) let me begin to understand the wealth of material Clyde possessed and the playful nature of his friendship. Currently at age 84, Clyde continues to play and delight us all. – Ray Alden

Great playing and choice of tunes. No apologies needed for your interpretations of the tunes as far as I'm concerned. I'm a player and not an ethnomusicologist or historian. I probably re-interpret every tune I learn to make it mine. I have no problem with anyone else doing the same. We wouldn't have regional styles if it this personalizing were't part of the folk process from the getgo. Paul Gitlitz

This is a beautifully done album of fiddle and banjo playing; the instrumentation is imaginative, including a pump organ and a bodhran (irish drum). The tunes are uncommon; the singing is great too. Andrew Alexis
