Summary: Each track has its own quaintness
Comment: Playing Time - 78:30 -- For those who have studied old-time fiddling, you will recognize the names of Clark Kessinger, Wade Ward, Tommy Jarrell, Marion Sumner, Gaither Carlton, Eck Robertson, Melvin Wine and Fred Price. The 38 tracks on this generous album of archival material also feature many other Appalachian style fiddlers whose music has been preserved as part of the Folkways catalog. All of the fiddlers sampled are from LPs released between 1951-1997. Even though put out in 1951, "Jenny on the Railroad" played by Tracy Schwartz and Mike Seeger with the New Lost City Ramblers is a tune that appeared in an 1839 collection of Virginia reels. Ten years before his death is 1971, fiddle Wade Ward recorded his solo Galax-style version of "Mississippi Sawyer." It's nice that some of the solos like Gaither Carlton's rendition of "Old Man Below" also include singing to tell the story of the old man coming with a double-barrel gun. Buddy Pendleton provides a rousing "Bill Cheatum" accompanied by Ted Lundy on banjo. With the availability of these Folkways recordings, bands like San Francisco's Crooked Jades have subsequently been able to learn and record their own version of this same tune (see their album, "The Unfortunate Rake Vol. 2"). One revivalist band featured on this disc is the Iron Mountain String Band that was founded in New York City and has been playing old-time music for four decades. Their 1973 recording of a classic "Johnson Boys" is a tribute to a current band that recently released new albums in the 2000s.
A West Virginian, Clark Kessinger was rediscovered in the mid-1960s during the folk revival of that period. "Red Bird," "Trombone Rag," and "Wednesday Night Waltz" display good tone and technique, and we can see why the latter became a hit for Kessinger. While much of the fiddling on this disc is played solo or just accompanied by guitar and/or banjo, we also hear some fuller ensemble sounds. More recent recordings are 1997 pieces "Darling Corey" and "Won't Come Until Morning" by The Gary Hooven String Band. Fiddler Hooven, a practitioner of the Galax string band tradition, was only 36 years old when he died in 2005. I also enjoyed the cuts (Beaumont Rag, Kentucky Waltz) by multi-instrumentalist David Johnson with his father, Billy Ray, from one of the three albums they produced for Folkways in the 1980s. Each track has its own quaintness, whether saw'ed off in a more rustic fashion with the rosin a-flyin' before a live audience, or whether recorded by a more euphonious fiddler in a controlled studio environment. A few other rollicking favorites to get the toes tapping are Lee Highway Blues, Piney Woods Gal, Sugar Hill, Bonaparte's Retreat, Richmond Blues, Black Eyed Susie, Pretty Little Girl with the Blue Dress On, Carroll County Blues, Dance All Night, and Give the Fiddler a Dram. You won't need a dram to get dancing all night long to the music on this disc compiled and annotated by old-time fiddler Jake Krack and Folkways archivist Jeff Place. (Joe Ross, Roseburg, OR.)
