about

West Virginia fiddler Ernie Carpenter (1909-1997) was born in Braxton County, near the Elk River and was descended from four generations of fiddle players and river men. His great grandfather Solomon Carpenter was, according to family tradition, born under the shelving rock of the fiddle tune name while the family was hiding from raiding Indians. Ernie’s repertoire is drawn from his family, especially his father, Shelt Carpenter, and talented neighbors like Uncle Jack McElwain, Wallace Pritchard and George Hammons. These recordings come from the Brandywine Mountain Music Convention of 1987, when Ernie was brought and backed up by Gerry Milnes and Michael Kline on banjo and guitar. – The Brandywine Friends and Gerry Milnes

Natural History

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 rendition of Virgil Anderson's "Jenny Hang the Kettle On" is wonderful. It perfectly grabs the simplistic beauty of Virgil's version, but has such clarity. Amazing album! Payton Scott
