This review is from: Best Fiddle & Banjo Duets (Audio CD)

This was one of the first real Old Time CDs I ever bought, years ago. I had heard amazing things about Tommy Jarrell and as soon as I put it on, I knew why. TJ is not a smooth fiddler, and he does not produce the world's greatest tone. But what he does... oh, the rhythm! The bowing! The soul! TJ encompasses the true spirit of traditional music. Fred C. puts some great banjo on these tunes which he knows just as well as Tommy. In fact, both these fellas were masters of both banjo & fiddle. That's one thing I never did figure out. Why not do some with switched instruments? Doesn't matter, it's a gem and all lovers of old time music should own this.
