about

These recordings are among many unexpected treasures that came my way as Gus Meade, Mark Wilson, and I were making ﬁeld recordings of old traditional ﬁddlers in Kentucky. During the 1970s, 80s, and 90s we sought out and recorded every one we could ﬁnd, mostly in the central and eastern parts of the state, and were able to get a glimpse of the old regional ﬁddle styles that predated the bluegrass music that was thriving at that time in these rural areas. Although the old ﬁddlers we recorded were still playing with skill and vigor, we often wished we could hear what they had sounded like when they were younger. We then discovered that many of these players had made use of recording devices as they became available in their own communities. These home recordings, in contrast to the ﬁeld recordings we had made, capture many of the same performers when they were much younger. They show that the local players were conscious of the tradition they were part of, they knew what they were doing, and they took it upon themselves to see that it was preserved. The story of how this collection came into our hands from several different sources can be read in the accompanying notes on the FRC website. – John Harrod

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

I had been hearing their music on WNCW and thinking that they were the best old time duo I'd heard in a long time. Then I found out that we all lived in the same town. What a treat it has been to get to hear them live on a semi-regular basis. Thomas Reynolds
