Foot-Stomping Old-Time Music at its Very Best,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Fire on the Mountain (Audio CD)
I am surprised to be the first to review this CD. Nonetheless, after wearing out two original LPs, I was happy to discover the first of the three Rounder Records was out on CD and bought it immediately.
As I usnderstand, and you can see from the photo, this record was made "live" with two microphones, recorded outside after a summer of touring in the early 1970s by the Highwoods String Band. I was a member of bands on the East Coast that emulated the Highwoods foot-enthralling-stomping style, but there is no substitute for the real thing, and this is it!!! Anyone who was as a Highwoods concert couldn't forget it. I have corresponded with one of the active memebers, Walt Koken, to see if a DVD of portions of Highwoods concerts could be put together, but so far, without success. A "Highwoods Live" album has been produced, on CD, which is excellent. However, seeing Walt Koken and Bob Potts wind up their fiddles for another old train tune is something not to be believed, unless you have seen it. I strongly recommend this album, especially to new generations of musicians who are not familiar with the exciting styling of 1920s-30s old-time fiddle band music brought back to life in the 1970s by the Highwoods String Band. |
