Fiddle Music

    There are as many styles of fiddling as their are fiddlers.  One of the most straightforward is that of Frankie McWhorter.  McWhorter is such a master of his instrument that he makes it sound so much easier and simple than it is.
    In this album of 21 fantastic old-time fiddle tunes, several with vocal accompaniment, Texas working ranch cowboy Frankie McWhorter exhibits his many years of experience in western swing dance bands.
    Frankie is an original, and his bow and finger work convey musical feelings elegantly, as few others can.  He is a walking encyclopedia of well-knowm and obscure fiddle tunes, and they roll from his fiddle as easily as mountain water rolls through Texas toward the golf. 
    When was the last time you heard "Rabbit, Where's Your Mama?" or "Flop-Eared Mule Schottische?" What about "Jesusita en Chihuahua?"  You've heard it, but you didn't know the name of it before now.  Okay then, do you remember McWhorter's own "Between the Rivers?"  You'll learn them after you get this album, because you'll play it often.
    And, of course, Frankie is backed up by some of the best in the business including co-producers Lannie Fiel and Tommy Allsup, Curley Hollingsworth on piano, Jim Benjamin on drums, Bobby Koefer on steel guitar, Tommy Morrell on dobro, Leon Rausch doing vocals, and Scott Brown's playing harmony fiddle.
    You are gonna love this excellent collection of great fiddle tunes, all of which make you want to grab your partner and get out and dance.
